As NPR's Greg Myriy tells us, Iran's threat to shipping remains real. Iran has lost most of its conventional military power, but it's still very well positioned to carry out attacks from the rugged coastline with drones or with these fast boats in
the Gulf. And particularly around the straight-of-form moves, which is just 21 miles wide, the Gulf has really become a giant parking lot for ships. There are some 3000 oil tankers, gas tankers, cargo ships, all stranded according to the UN's shipping agency, the ships are unwilling to challenge the Iranians, and the U.S.
Navy only has around 20 ships in the region. That's NPR's Greg Myriy with our reports.
“The International Energy Agency is calling the global fuel crisis the largest supply disruption”

The war between the U.S. and Israel and Iran has disrupted oil tankers moving through

Later in his career, he served as special counsel and vets getting Russian interference in the 2016 election. Mueller said he could not reach a conclusion about whether President Trump obstructed justice, but he also said he could not exonerate Trump. Trump posted on social media that quote, "I'm glad he's dead."
He could no longer hurt innocent people. Mueller had decorated Vietnam more veteran and Marine was 81 years old. Kerry Johnson and Pyrenees. And this is NPR News. It's spring break for many universities, which is a busy travel time, but those
flying right now are finding continuing problems with security screening at airports. TSA officers have not been paid since the partial government shutdown began on February 14, and hundreds of them have quit causing delays with screening.

I put the knot and astronaut. Two days ago, they up that prediction to $60 million. I've never done a space. I can't even mourn what? Now, based on previews and first day ticket sales, it looks like the weekend will

It'll also be one of the best openings for a non-franchised film ever up there with the likes of Oppenheimer and Jordan Peels Us, Bob Mondello and PR News.
