The U.S. Israeli war on Iran is continuing to spread into the wider region, with alerts going off and several countries around the Gulf, including Dubai, or flights were delayed after air defenses intercepted Iranian missiles and drones. Meanwhile, the dignified transfer of the six U.S. service members who were killed in Kuwait last Sunday took place at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware this afternoon.
“Is it in Trump, Vice President Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegg Sethworth there?”
Earlier, Trump called them heroes. They're coming home in a different manner than they thought they'd be coming home, but they're great heroes in our country, and we're going to keep it that way.
As always, when it comes to war, there's always that, but we're going to keep it to a minimum
I think, Pete. He spoke before the transfer at an event with Latin American leaders in Florida, where he called on those leaders to use their militaries to stop drug trafficking and transnational gangs. Meanwhile, those explosions continued to sound across Iran's capital Tehran, with parts
of the city covered in thick, black smoke from the attacks. As empires with Sherlock reports, fears are also mounting for the safety of the thousands of detainees held in an notorious regime prison there.
“Heenah said the law he says her brother, Aliah said the law he was detained about a month ago from his home and taken to Iran's”
Evan Prison, notorious for its brutal treatment of inmates. Aliah said the law he is an internationally recognised poet, and over a hundred authors, including Margaret Atwood, have penned a joint letter calling for his release. By the time I know, Aliah said. She elina said the law he who lives in exile in Germany says, her brother was due to be
released on bail the day the US and his ready bombardment began. They haven't heard from him since.
Her sources inside Iran have told her that he and other prisoners have been moved, first
to an intelligence complex, and then an army base. All places she fears, a likely targets of US and Israeli strikes, Ruth Sherlock and Pion used Turkey near the border with Iran. The war in Iran is also affecting energy markets, ship traffic, through the straight-up or moves is stalled.
Prices are higher for oil, natural gas, and gasoline. The average price of a gallon of gasoline is risen above $3 for the first time since early December. Triple A says the average cost of a gallon of gas nationwide is now $3.41. That's up about 43 cents from a week ago, and diesel and jet fuel prices are also
higher. And here's Camilla, Dominoski has more. The global benchmark for crude, closed for the weekend at a little under $93 a barrel, that's up from 70 before the attack.
And these higher crude prices have pushed up gasoline more than 14 percent, which is
a bigger week on week jump than we saw after Russia invaded Ukraine. Camilla, Dominoski, you're listening to NPR news. META is facing a class action lawsuit for false advertising over its artificial intelligence glasses. And here's Bobby Allen reports, the suit claims META has misled consumers about the products
of privacy protections. META has promised users of its Ray Band meta glasses that what's being recorded is not viewable by the company, but a Swedish newspaper investigation found that subcontractors for META were able to watch footage taken with the glasses of intimate material, including bathroom visits and sexual encounters.
“Now, a new lawsuit alleges that META failed to disclose how the glasses can be used as a secret”
surveillance tool with footage being sent to AI data collection centers. META says whatever is recorded is intended to stay on a user's device, but that occasionally the smart glasses can share footage with contractors. The lawsuit says contractors have at times viewed credit card numbers, nudity and identifiable faces.
Bobby Allen and PR news. The Los Angeles City Council has voted unanimously to designate the so-called Brady Bunch House in the San Fernando Valley as a historic cultural monument. The vote grants landmark protections to the House that was used for the exterior shots of the very popular TV sitcom that ran from 1969 to 1974.
But the interior scenes, they were shot on a sound stage, with sets the board no resemblance to the property that became a photo op magnet for a Brady Bunch fans. The landmark status protects the home built in 1959 from demolition or major renovations. I'm Janine Herbst and PR News in Washington.
