starting the war with Iran, President Trump said the U.S. would finish its mission
“there within a few weeks, as MPR's Quil Lawrence reports.”
President Trump didn't say much that was new, repeating that Iran's military has been destroyed and promising more bombing to come. The President said the closure of the straight-of-war moves was not America's problem, but should be dealt with by other countries that rely on it more heavily. They are decimated both militarily and economically and every other way in the countries
of the world that do receive oil through the hormone straight must take care of that passage. Iran's closure of the straight has driven up the price of oil worldwide, and it's not clear any other country besides the U.S. could open it by force. Trump did not suggest a major ground operation as imminent, despite thousands of additional
troops in or in route to the region. Quil Lawrence MPR News.

For astronauts headed for a trip around the moon after Wednesday evening successful launch from the Kennedy Space Center, MPR's No Greenfield Voice was there for the launch. The rocket is just barking up into the sky. There's a tremendous noise. It's just a bright,
bright star like freaking star in the sky as it goes up and up. The sound was like physical. You could feel your body shaking and there's a long, straight cloud, white cloud coming down from the rocket, which is still very visible. High up in the blue sky. There's four
astronauts run forward. It's amazing to think that they're on top of this thing and it's
just going up and up and up and up and we can still hear it. It's like a very loud, flag-fllapping sound and all eyes are on this thing. MPR's No Greenfield Voice reporting, and this is MPR News.
