The same headline with the same story is also published by other news
outlet including Bloomberg.com.

Question: Is the port in question own by the US?

The opening statement of the news item is:

"Mexico finalized plans to take control of a port and quarry owned by
Vulcan Materials Co. on its Caribbean coast, deepening tensions days
before the nation’s president leaves office."

BTW, the same headline with the same story is also published by other
news outlet including Bloomberg.com.

TheYucatantimes.com operates from Yucatan Peninsula has a slightly
different headline: "AMLO Seizes US-Owned Company Vulcan in Final Week
as Mexico’s Leader"

Owned by a US company, but not owned by the US government. If a foreign company buys land in the US, US laws still
apply on that land. But it's a provocative move by Mexico to forcibly take the land in this case.

Are you suggesting that Mexico government seizing "US own port" and "US
company own and operated port" are one and the same thing?

"Iran saw the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza as a strategic reset for the
Middle East. It meant the return of the Palestinians’ plight to center
stage, and the regional and global reaction to the war quickly created a diplomatic quandary for Israel. Since the initial attack by Hamas on
Oct. 7, 2023, Tehran and its allies in the so-called axis of resistance
have sought to deepen this quandary while avoiding a larger regional war
that could bring Iran into direct confrontation with the United States.

Israel, by contrast, wants to break out of its quandary by expanding the
Gaza war and putting Iran and the United States on a collision course.
The United States has increased its military presence in the Middle East
to support Israel against attacks by Iran and Hezbollah. And Washington
will enter the fray in Israel’s corner if the confrontation between
Israel, Hezbollah, and Iran escalates into open warfare.

Tehran concluded that the killing of Haniyeh in the heart of Tehran, and
then the assassination of Nasrallah in his Beirut stronghold, were aimed
at baiting Iran into that trap. Since Haniyeh’s assassination, Iran’s dilemma has been how to continue its strategy without playing into
Israel’s hands. It decided not to react to Haniyeh’s assassination, but
it could not do that when Nasrallah was killed.
..
Iran’s response to Israel’s attack on its consulate in Damascus in April—which involved launching approximately 300 drones and missiles
against Israel—did not deter further Israeli escalations that came in
the form of the subsequent assassinations of Haniyeh and Nasrallah. And
this latest missile attack is unlikely to definitively deter Israel
either.
..
Iran believes that Israel wants to resolve all its security issues in
the region once and for all through a larger war that will crush Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, and hobble Iran. That will be a long war—and
one that demands U.S. involvement."

Nope.

Care to speculate why US presses chose to conflate "US owned port" with
"US company owned and operated port?"

Are such reports contribute to make US readers and voters more informed
about what have been happening in the rest of the world?
