"Live from MPR News, I'm Giles Snyder.
Iran's new Supreme Leader is vowing to fight on and to keep the strategic straight
of Hormuz shut down. A message attributed to Michelle Obama-Humanay was read Thursday by a television presenter as the Iran War Royals Oil Markets. Iran has said the world should prepare for oil prices of $200 a barrel, energy secretary Chris Wright told CNN Thursday that short-term pain may be needed to solve a
long-term problem. "The disruption of oil, temporary disruption of oil through the straights of Hormuz,
“that's what the strategic petroleum reserve is for.”
So as we have a shortage of market coming through that avenue, we're going to bring oil to market through other avenues to get through a few weeks of a short-term dislocation to get to a much better place on the other side." "Another avenue seems to be Russian oil, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, says U.S. is lifting sanctions for 30 days on Russian oil and petroleum products stranded at sea."
U.S. says it hit around 6,000 targets in Iran since the conflict began Israel has also launched multiple ways of attacks, and says it's now concentrating on the infrastructure of the Iranian regime across the capital, the BBC's Warren Bohr reports. U.S. central commands says its targets in operation epic fury include nearly 100 Iranian ships.
Among the mind-laying vessels, other focuses of the aerial bombardment it says, "A command centres, weapons factories and their defence systems." Meanwhile, Israel says it's carrying out a new wave of air strikes on Tehran. Late on Thursday, Israeli forces said they'd hit a site linked to developing nuclear weapons.
“Iran insists it's nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.”
The latest strikes came as Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said his country
was inflicting what he called heavy blows on Iran's revolutionary guard.
The authorities have identified the suspect in Thursday's attack on a Detroit area, Senna Gorg, the Homeland Security Department, says he was born in Lebanon and became a U.S. citizen in 2016. He was found dead in his vehicle after ramming it into the building. Benish Ahmed with Michigan Public Radio reports that the attack has rattled those who live
nearby. "Holly Roy lives so close to Temple Israel that she heard the sound of a car crashing into the building followed by gunshots. She struggled to explain what happened to her 11-year-old son." "I just basically told him that they're not good people out there.
I didn't tell him why, because I don't know why." The large Senna Gorg is in Muhammad Hamad's backyard.
“"We all are different, but we can't really make it like that's the only thing we have”
on life is that we're different." He says he fears the aggressive language from the U.S. Israel and Iran amidst the current war, played a role and will only soak more hate. "No, we're all human, you know what I'm saying? That's one of that."
Hamad worries as much for other Senna Gorgs in the area as he does for the mosque. Key attends. Benish Ahmed West Bloomfield, Michigan. "This is in PR. Authorities in Virginia have identified the man who opened fire at Old Dominion University
Thursday, killing one person and wounding two others. They say he was a former Virginia Army National Guard member. He was convicted in 2016, providing material support to the Islamic State Group, serving eight years of an 11-year prison sentence before he was released in 2024.

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner says his agency has provided sufficient funding for home repairs in North Carolina, tens of thousands were damaged by Hurricane Halene and 2024 from Blue Ridge Public Radio Gerard Albert reports.
"Hud has already given North Carolina more than a billion dollars to repair and rebuild homes
damaged by Hurricane Halene, but state leaders say more is needed. HUD Secretary Scott Turner disagrees." "It's not a fun to problem. The money is there. It has not been used and it's totally."
Stephanie McGarrow runs the state's home repair program, which is funded by HUD. He says high construction costs and inflation are making home repairs more expensive. "What we're finding across the state is that we do not have enough money." North Carolina's governor is asking Congress for another $8 billion for home repairs.
