Israeli air strikes hit an oil-deepo and a refinery in Tehran, sending fiery pillars and black smoke into the sky, and causing oily rain drops to fall onto the city. Israel said Iran's military was using the oil to fuel its missile launches at Israel. U.S. officials were displeased with the extent of the damage, that's according to a person
briefed on the matter not authorized to speak publicly. Their public and senator Lindsey Graham also expressed dissatisfaction. He tweeted at Israel to be cautious about its targets. He said Iran's oily economy will be needed when Iran's regime collapses. Daniel Estrin and PR news Tel Aviv.

Caitlyn Karnalski, who worked in a senior role on robotics and consumer hardware at
Open AI announced she was stepping down after the company agreed to deploy its AI models on the Pentagon's classified networks.
“In a statement on social media, Karnalski said AI could play an important role in national”
security, but warned the deal itself lacked sufficient safeguards.

other technology and fears Lauren Summer has more. More than 10,000 feet below the surface of the ocean, there are potato-sized rocks on the sea floor. They're polymetallic nodules, which grow slowly over millions of years, accumulating metals like nickel and cobalt.
But demand for batteries growing, mining companies are pushing to start commercially harvesting them. Ocean scientists say that could hurt the deep sea ecosystem, where the majority of life is still unknown to science. Countries are meeting this week to negotiate rules about mining and international waters.
The Trump administration is not part of that process and is moving ahead on its own with permitting deep sea mining. Lauren Summer and PR News on Wall Street in pre-market trading, Dow futures are much lower. This is NPR.
