Mongolia's main political party will form a new government after lawmakers rejected a confidence vote, ousting Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai and exacerbating uncertainty for the nation's economy as it struggles with China's weakening demand for raw materials.
Oyun-Erdene lost the vote early Tuesday in the legislature, getting the support of 44 lawmakers in the live-streamed ballot, short of the 64 he needed. He remains as caretaker leader until the Mongolian People's Party he belongs to picks a new prime minister.

Iran has over the years threatened multiple times to shut the strait — a narrow stretch of water through which a fifth of the world's oil supply flows each day. But in practice, Tehran has numerous less-drastic options at its disposal to calibrate a response that hurts its enemies while limiting the impact on allies like China, its biggest oil buyer.
