"Live from NPR News and Washington, on Corv.
resume with Iran, the United Arab Emirates says it was hit by Iranian drone and missile
“attacks yesterday. That came after the U.S. launched an operation to try to reopen the”
straight of Hormuz. NPR's Greg Myri says two commercial ships have gotten through the straight."
"U.S. Admiral Bread Cooper, the Commanding Officer," said the first day of the operation,
"was an easy." Iran had launched multiple cruise missiles, drones, and small boats at ships we are protecting. We have disputed each and every one of those threats." "Most of the Iranian fire was directed at the merchant ships, though U.S. naval vessels also came under fire. None of the ships was hit. Cooper says the U.S. plans to expand the
operation, though it's not yet clear how many commercial ships will be willing to take the risk, even with U.S. protection. Hundreds of merchant ships are still stranded in the golf, due to Iran's blockade. Greg Myri, NPR News," Washington. "The Supreme Court is temporarily letting people get an abortion medication drug mailed to them
“after meeting with a health care provider online. Louisiana brought the case over Mifapristone.”
It wants to stop people from getting the drug unless they meet a care provider in person,
not online." Rachana Desai Martin is with the Center for Reproductive Rights. She says if Louisiana prevails no one in the U.S. will be able to get the drug through an online medical appointment." "So in states that have protected reproductive freedom in their state constitutions or abortion
in their state statutes, it would even apply there. So the impacts are quite wide." Louisiana says it's defending its own laws strictly limiting abortion.

From idea-stream public media in Cleveland,
Abbey Marshall reports, Ohio Democrats are seeking to back candidates to win state offices now controlled by Ohio Republicans. Retired steel mill union worker and lifelong Democrat Brian Page says, he's supporting gubernatorial candidate Amy Akten, who's running unopposed on the Democratic primary ticket
and is expected to face Republican Vivek Ramaswami this fall. "Just like to see the country get back together. That seems like that's divided." Also against them, whoever side you're on, but it seems just too volatile." Page says he's hopeful candidates like former Senator Sherrod Brown,
a Democrat who lost his seat to Bernie Marino in 2024 after nearly two decades of bipartisan support, could help bridge that divide. "For NPR News, I'm Abbey Marshall in Cleveland."

for cities in Arizona to tolerate cuts to their water supply.
“Remember station KJ ZZ, Alex Hager reports,”
the plan was co-signed by Arizona, California and Nevada. "Those states would leave water in the Colorado River as part of an effort to prop up dangerously low reservoirs. Arizona would still have to take cuts, but they would not be as deep as suggested in a previous plan. Patrick Dent is with the Central Arizona project which brings Colorado River water to the Phoenix area."
"That's the difference between devastating, impossible-demand-age cuts that wouldn't have real impacts on some of those communities, residents, to something that's manageable." The plan would still need approval from federal water managers, but they appear likely to pass at least parts of the new proposal. "For NPR News, I'm Alex Hager, in Phoenix."
