Confusion continues about the ceasefire with Iran after President Trump claimed complete and total victory.
“Iran says it closed the straightaway for a move again after Israel continued to attack”
the Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon, a conflict that has displaced more than a million
people and killed scores Wednesday, according to local health officials. But White House press secretary Caroline Levitz has reported that the straight is closed or false. It appears more alliance and reports. The war began with the President saying there would be no deal with Iran except
"unconditional surrender." Now the end of the war seems to be about keeping ships sailing through the straight-of-war moves. The White House says Iran has agreed to open the straight and that there's been an uptick in both traffic through the straight.
The White House also posted an official statement from the Iranian government that says
quote "passaged through the straight will be coordinated with the Iranian armed forces."
“Asked who was currently in control of the straight White House press secretary Caroline Levitz”
didn't answer. Even if Iran is allowing some ships to pass through, if Iran keeps control of the straight, military experts say they would keep a lot of leverage over the global oil markets, and that would be a strategic defeat for the U.S. The White House is asking a federal judge for a preliminary injunction to block an immigration
detention center in Roxbury, New Jersey. Bruce Convise reports on the latest move in an ongoing legal battle. Governor Mikey Cheryl and State Attorney General Jennifer Davenport argued that the site is not zone to operate as a jail. The filing argues that the proposed 1,500-bed facility would overwhelm the municipal sewage
system and create a traffic nightmare in the town of 23,000. The Department of Homeland Security and ICE have plans to convert a 470,000 square foot warehouse into a prison.
“Reconstruction is slated to begin next month.”
Republican Congressman Tom Cain has appealed to DHS to work with local officials on the project. Cain has previously come under fire for not doing an up-to-back the community. In PR news, I'm Bruce Conviser in Greenbrook, New Jersey, and the Artemis II Moon Mission Astronauts have unveiled a special item on board their capsule as a return to Earth.
On a video link with Mission Control in Houston Wednesday, Mission Commander Reed Wiseman said the crew took with them an American flag that was to have landed on the moon with the Apollo 18 astronauts, whose mission in 1973 was canceled. We are honored to carry the torch from Apollo through Skylab, through the space shuttle, through our beloved international space station, and now back further than humans have
ever gone around the far side of the moon and safely home back to Houston. The Artemis II remains on track for a splash down on Friday in the Pacific off San Diego on Monday. The astronauts reach a record-breaking distance from the Earth. This is in PR news.
Los Angeles has been saying the drug dealer, who sold actor Matthew Perry, the fatal do subcettamine that led to his death, was sentenced Wednesday. Steve Prudiment was outside the courthouse. Before the sentence was announced, the judge heard from Matthew Perry's family. His stepfather Keith Morrison described what he called the Daily Grinding Sadness.
Prosecutors asked for a 20-year sentence, "Defense attorneys asked for time served. The judge ruled that sanga should serve 15 years in prison, afterwards Morrison reacted." "I feel bad for the family of the perpetrator here as well, you know, nobody wanted it." Two more defendants in the case still need to be sentenced, including Matthew Perry's personal assistant, who injected him with the fatal dose.
For MPR News, I'm Steve Futterman in Los Angeles. As long Island architect accused in a string of unsolved murders dating back to the 1990s facing life in prison, Rex Hureman entered guilty police Wednesday admitting in court that he killed eight women, in a case at Stymied Investigators until DNA evidence led to his arrest. The crimes are known as the Gilgo Beach Killing's Authorities say Hureman killed the
women over a 17-year span. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says last month was the hottest March and 132 years of record keeping. And federal weather data show this past March was the most abnormally hot month of any month of the year.
No, it says the average temperature was 90 degrees above the 20th century normal. This is MPR News.
