Live from NPR News in Washington on Corvaculman, President Trump says the U.

major strides in its military objective against Iran.

And Piersage, Miller reports on Trump's comments yesterday.

Trump says the U.S. has begun targeting Iran's drone manufacturing facilities. "We know all of the places they manufacture the drones and they're being hit one after another." Trump also says the U.S. is attacking the facilities where Iranian missiles are made and delivered.

But he says some of the biggest targets, like electricity production, remain. Oil prices surged after the war prompted the closure of the straight of core moves, effectively choking off a key route. Trump had this warning for Iran if they tried to stop the global oil supply chain.

"We'll take them out so quickly, they'll never be able to recover, ever."

Trump says the U.S. is ahead of its initial timeline, but he didn't say when the war would likely end, "Sage Miller and PR news." Meanwhile, crude oil prices are up to about $92 a barrel in the U.S. gas prices rose a nickel at the pump overnight, that's according to the motoring club AAA. It says the average price for a gallon of regular is now $3.54 a gallon.

That's more than 50 cents higher than it was 10 days ago. Here's an appears Camilla Domenoski. The conflict does stretch on, a lot of analysts expect these prices to go up, and if anything, it's surprising that prices weren't much higher than this much sooner.

The flow of traffic through the key waterway, the straight of her moves, that dried up

more than a week ago." And beer is Camilla Domenoski reporting. The Pentagon says Defense Secretary Pete Hegsev, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan King, will hold a press conference next hour, and it will be at the Pentagon.

Turkey says it's deploying more patriot-missile defense systems. These will be stationed in a province hosting a NATO radar base. Turkey is a NATO member. This comes as Iran has recently fired two separate ballistic missiles toward Turkish airspace. NATO defenses shaut them down.

Artificial intelligence firm Anthropic is suing the Trump administration that's for designating the AI Company a "supply chain risk." And beer's Bobby Allen reports Anthropic says the federal government is illegally retaliating against it. Anthropic filed two lawsuits alleging that Trump officials broke the law by placing the company on a contractor blacklist.

The company says it came after Anthropic said its powerful AI programs could not be used

in lethal autonomous weapons, nor to spy on American citizens. After that, the Pentagon labeled Anthropic a supply chain risk, a label typically used against foreign adversaries like China. The suit say Trump officials violated the company's free speech and exceeded the laws authority on supply chain rules.

The Pentagon would not comment on the suit. President Trump has said he will order all federal agencies to stop using Anthropic's AI tool, "clothed" Bobby Allen and PR news. You're listening to NPR. There's a special election today in a Georgia congressional district formally represented

by Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. She broke with President Trump over the Epstein files and she left office in January. There are 17 candidates running for her old job and they're all running against each other today. Party affiliation does not matter in this Georgia special election. Greene is not endorsed anyone.

California incumbent Congressman Kevin Kylie has left the Republican Party in an announcement he says he is re-registered as an independent and is running for reelection. These move comes as California voters approve the redrawing of state congressional districts. Kylie's district now leans Democratic. People who take hormone therapy to treat symptoms of menopause are experiencing delays when

they go to pick up their prescriptions. NPR's Allison Aubrey has more on the shortages. After the FDA removed warning labels from estrogen, more women are asking about hormone therapy. Dr. Nora Lance and the chief medical officer of Elector Health says menopause hormone therapy has grown steadily over the last several years and many women now use estrogen patches

which deliver the hormone through the skin instead of taking oral estrogen pills.

This trans-dermal version of estradiol is really a much safer option and that's why there's

been such demand. CVS says manufacturers have been unable to provide sufficient supplies of estrogen patches and some manufacturers acknowledge shortages but do not provide a reason. Allison Aubrey and PR news on Wall Street in pre-market trading, doubt futures are higher. This is NPR.
