U.S. Central Command says that no ships have gotten through the Strait of Hormuz and
“the U.S. Naval Blockade was put in place Monday, while the one ship that did get through”
was turned back, as impures Jackie Northam reports." London-based Lloyd's list says the rich starry, a combined chemical and oil tanker, translated the Strait of Hormuz early morning local time, hours after the U.S. Naval Blockade was implemented, and that the vessel made a U.T. in the Gulf of Oman. Lloyd's list says the rich starry, had been transmitting false data, known as Spoofing,
since early April, which could mean it was loaded with Iranian cargo. Ships can often mask their movements by Spoofing or turning off their transponders. Central Command says six merchant vessels heading towards the Strait, complied with direction from U.S. forces to turn around, and that no others have gotten through. Jackie Northam and P.R. News.
With the U.S. military blockading Iranian ports, there are indications that talks to in the war could resume in Pakistan, President Trump told the New York Post today that

Two members of Congress formally submitted their resignations today in P.R.'s Eric McDaniel reports.
“California Democrat Eric Swallwell and Texas Republican Tony Gonzalez are both resigning under”
threat of expulsion from Congress. House reading clerk Tiley Silly read from Swallwell's resignation on the chamber floor. "I will fight the serious false allegations made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make." Swallwell faces allegations of sexual assault and misconduct brought by multiple women.
He's denied those allegations and dropped out of his state's governor's race. Gonzalez had previously announced he would not seek reelection after allegations surfaced of a past affair with the staff member, who later died by suicide. Gonzalez eventually admitted to the affair, Eric McDaniel and P.R. News, the Capitol. "Swallwell's attorney released a statement today, calling the accusations against him false
fabricated and deeply offensive. Some temperature records could fall this week for a castor's say a heat wave could send temperatures into the 90s for parts of the East Coast, as Imperial Chef Brady reports." The early spring heat wave will feel more like summer weather, a warming climate from
“human-spirning fossil fuels and releasing pollution into the atmosphere is increasing the”
chance that extreme weather will happen. Christina Doll is a climate researcher and vice president for science at the nonprofit organization climate central. "When we look at an event like the heat wave that's affecting the East Coast of the US right now, we can see that many of those temperatures were made about twice as likely because
of climate change." Doll says a heat wave in April feels warmer than one in August because people's bodies haven't adjusted to hot weather yet. She advises taking it easy and drinking plenty of fluids. Jeff Brady and P.R. News, Philadelphia.
"And you're listening to NPR News. Research suggests that military personnel exposed to repeated bomb blasts are more likely to develop brain and yourisms, and P.R.s on Hamilton has more on a study in the journal radiology." The study used magnetic resonance imaging to scan the brains of more than 500 members
of special operations units, which are often near explosions. The scan showed that brain aneurysms were three times as common in individuals with high levels of blast exposure compared with those who had relatively low exposure. The abnormality was found in 9.5% of the high exposure group compared with just 2.7% in the low exposure group.
Terrorisms are weak or bulging spots in an artery that are prone to rupture and can cause deadly bleeding in the brain. Researchers suspect that blast waves damage the walls of an artery by stretching the vessel beyond its limits. John Hamilton and P.R. News.
