Iran again, writing online last hour," Trump said, "a whole civilization will die
“tonight, never to be brought back again. The President continues, quote, "I don't want”
that to happen, but it probably will." Trump is reiterating his demand that Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping by APM eastern time tonight. If Iran continues to refuse, Trump is said he will bomb all of Iran's bridges and power plans. He says he is not worried about committing war crimes, but legal experts are, Oslo Bolly is an international law professor at Yale Law School."
The threat to destroy civilian infrastructure at scale is really suggesting that President is announcing no distinction between civilian and military objects and explicit statements
about targeting infrastructure without that kind of distinction, basically means abandoning
the constraints that international law requires. She spoke to NPR's morning edition. Meanwhile, Israel has issued a new warning to Iranians today. Don't take the trains. NPR's Daniel Ostrin has more from Tel Aviv.

follows yesterday's lunar flyby. NPR's now-green-filled boys reports the crew was the first
to fly around the far side of the moon in more than 50 years.
“The first woman to fly close to the moon, NASA astronaut Christina Cook, was struck by the”
sight of small bright craters scattered all over. She said they didn't look like anything she'd seen in photos. "And what it really looks like is like a lamp-said for tiny pin-pricles and the light-signing through. They're so bright compared to the rest of the man." The astronauts also described seeing colors, greens, and browns as they took numerous photos.
The crew will return to Earth Friday and splash down off the coast of California. NASA says a landing on the lunar surface won't happen until 2028 at the earliest. Now-green-filled boys and PR news.

a 2.5% rate increase for Medicare-advantaged plans that will take effect in 2027. PR Salina Simmons' Duffin reports, the federal government reversed its decision to keep the rate flat. A 2.5% increase for companies that run private Medicare Advantage plans is a smaller bump than the last few years, but it's much more than what the Center for Medicare and Medicaid
services proposed in January, 0.09%. That sent health insurance stocks down. Companies lobbied for a bigger increase pointing to rising health costs. The lobbying and market reaction seemed to have made an impact. Medicare official Chris Clump spoke to reporters on Monday.
"We are balancing our stewardship, both in your terms, stability, and launchers, sustainability while trying to send the rights signals to the market."
The Trump administration has been critical of Medicare Advantage because it costs taxpayers
more per in-worldly than traditional Medicare. Salina Simmons' Duffin and PR News. There's a special run-off election in a Georgia congressional district today.
