The Tears for Fears (@tearsforfearsmusic)
guitarist and songwriter’s memoir explains the songs but keeps the man behind them in the shadows.

Written by Lily Moayeri (@lilymoayeri)

August 4, 2026 (@spinmag) - This summer, in eight cities across four countries on two continents, I couldn’t go a single day without hearing at least one Tears for Fears song. Most days, I heard several. The duo is top of mind, not just because of their timeless music, but because primary songwriter Roland Orzabal is publishing his memoir, Welcome to Your Life: Love, Death, and Tears for Fears, on August 4. Considering the cross-generational appeal of Orzabal’s songs, being allowed a peek into the experiences that informed his lyrics and the creation of the music is a rare treat.

The book begins unexpectedly with the mental and physical deterioration and eventual death of Orzabal’s late wife, Caroline. It’s a jarring opening that feels frantic and desperate, likely reflecting what Orzabal himself experienced during those final years. He then rewinds to his grandparents and the unplanned pregnancy that resulted in his father’s birth, an event that shaped generations of his family. His mother’s natural instinct for performance, particularly dance, was ultimately channeled into stripping by his father.

DUBAI/WASHINGTON, Aug 4 (Reuters) – Qatar said on Tuesday mediators were making progress in efforts to end the U.S.-Iran war, driving oil prices lower, although Tehran has denied President Donald Trump’s assertion that talks are already under way.

Benchmark Brent crude fell more than 5% after the comments from Qatar, extending Monday’s steep losses on hopes that an arrangement could soon be reached to restore traffic through the blockaded Strait of Hormuz. But for now, the strait remained virtually shut, with another ship coming under attack while trying to cross it.

Trump and Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani discussed efforts to narrow differences between Washington and Tehran and improve the prospects for a lasting settlement during a phone call on Tuesday, Qatar’s Emiri office said.

It said the emir stressed the importance of dialogue and adherence to the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding of mid-June that provided for the immediate cessation of military operations.

Trump said on Monday that talks with Tehran had started and Iran faced a “last chance” to reach a deal. Iranian officials insisted no negotiations with the U.S. were taking place.

The U.S. president’s comments on Monday followed his weekend decision to cancel plans for what he described as “massive attacks” on Iran, extending a pattern in which he has threatened major military action before pulling back and pointing to diplomatic contacts.

Iran‘s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said talks with Oman over transit through the strait were positive and continuing, focused on establishing safe shipping lanes, state media reported. He added the route being negotiated was aimed at ensuring the sovereign rights and national security of both Iran and Oman.

NEW YORK/WASHINGTON, Aug 4 (Reuters) – The U.S. Army has used up much of its global stockpile of highly accurate long-range missiles during its five-month war with Iran, according to three people familiar with the data, raising concerns about the military’s readiness for future conflicts.

The missiles are principally the Army’s surface-to-surface weapons, known as Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM). The U.S. has used “virtually all” of these weapons, according to two of the sources.

The degree to which the military is running out of ATACMS and Precision Strike Missiles has not been previously reported.

The long-range munitions – which cost more than $1 million each – are an important part of the military’s arsenal, allowing accurate strikes from a safe distance. U.S.-supplied ATACMS have played a key role in the war in Ukraine, allowing Ukrainian forces to attack targets inside Russia. The PrSM is a newer, more advanced generation that will replace the ATACMS, which have a shorter range.

The dramatic rundown in precision, long-range missiles means U.S. President Donald Trump may have to rely more on riskier, piloted bombing missions if he relaunches large-scale attacks on Iran.

The sources declined to say how many of each munition the U.S. had left.

Trump launched the Iran war jointly with Israel in February, predicting that the conflict would last a short time.

But as the war drags on, the three people familiar with the matter expressed worry that the falling missile supplies could limit the U.S. ability to deter adversaries, including Russia and China.

A fourth person familiar with the matter said that despite the high usage of precision weapons, the U.S. can resupply. Central Command — which oversees U.S. forces in the Middle East — has been able to reload from U.S. military supplies around the world, the person said.

The sources interviewed for this story spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Aug. 4 - Reuters investigative reporters Steve Ste

Aug. 4 - Reuters investigative reporters Steve Stecklow and Gavin Finch sat down with Iranian opposition figure Reza Pahlavi in Paris on July 14 to discuss his campaign for bringing democracy to Iran. He lays out his vision for how the transition can happen and why the Islamic Republic is now weak. Pahlavi addresses criticism from some financial backers and his response to violence by some of his supporters. He also discusses controversy over his role in the campaign against Iran’s repressive Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and how his views have changed on intervention in Iran. The interview, lasting about 75 minutes, was edited by Reuters for length and clarity.

DUBAI/WASHINGTON, Aug 4 (Reuters) – An attack on a vessel near the Strait of Hormuz and a rebound in oil prices on Tuesday underscored doubts that the U.S.-Iran war was nearing a resolution, as Tehran pushed back against President Donald Trump’s assertion that talks were under way.

Oil prices rose nearly 3% after a steep selloff in the previous session as investors reassessed optimism over diplomacy, while a cargo vessel reported being struck by an unidentified projectile near the Strait of Hormuz off Oman’s coast, according to the UKMTO maritime security agency.

Trump said on Monday that talks with Tehran were under way and Iran faced a “last chance” to reach a deal, while Iranian officials insisted no negotiations with the United States were taking place. Iran says its only talks are with Oman about the Strait of Hormuz and no major meetings are planned this week.

“They are going on right now,” Trump told reporters at an Oval Office event when asked about negotiations, adding that discussions were taking place at the request of Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

“This is a last chance for them (Iran) to sign a good document.”

Trump’s remarks followed his weekend decision to cancel what he described as “massive attacks” on Iran, repeating a pattern in which he has threatened major military action before stepping back and citing negotiations.

Iran‘s President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran did not want the conflict to widen: “We defend our borders, but we do not seek to expand the war,” he was quoted as saying by state media.

Iran has halted most traffic through Hormuz while Washington maintains a blockade of Iranian shipping and ports, disrupting a corridor that normally carries about a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments.

Maritime sources told Reuters on Tuesday that the vessel struck near Hormuz was a dry bulk ship. Its crew had to abandon the vessel and one seafarer was missing, the sources said.
