Legislation that would limit President Trump's power to continue directing military action
“against Iran is heading to the Senate, the House voted last week to invoke the War Powers”
Act. NPR's Ron Elving reports the bill passed with the help of a few Republicans. This week, four members of the Republican majority cross the aisle to vote with the Democrats and invoke the War Powers Act on Iran. This is legislation that's been on the books since the wind down from the Vietnam War,
and it requires congressional approval after an overseas deployment has lasted 60 days. We're way past that with the war on Iran, but past efforts to invoke the Act to fall in short, this time with the margin of majority down to the fingers of one hand the defection of four Republicans was enough. Now we'll see if the Senate follows through.
NPR's Ron Elving reporting Iran is accusing the U.S. of discriminatory treatment and violating its obligations as a World Cup host for refusing visas to some of its football team's delegation. The BBC's Jacob Evans reports.
“There's less than a week to go until the World Cup kicks off, but the Iranian squad”
have already relocated their base from Arizona to the Mexican border city of Tejwana. Now, according to Tejwana's Ambassador to Mexico, the team will not be allowed to enter the U.S. until match day, animal have to leave the very same day. The revelation came after Iranian media said at least a dozen members of the team's support staff had been refused U.S. visas.
Iran's embassy in Turkey said the move represented the worst possible form of politically biased interference in sport, and called on football's governing body to intervene. The BBC's Jacob Evans reporting the World Cup kicks off Thursday in Mexico City. Voters in Peru are electing a new president today, polls indicate most people are deeply unhappy with the stark far-left versus the far-right choice.
Simeon Tagal has more from Lima.
For the third time in the last four elections, Peruvians face a polarizing choice of presidential
candidates. Far-right candidate, Cacophooke Mori, or a far-left opponent, Roberto Sanchez. The election comes after years of political chaos, runaway corruption, and rising street crime. Many voters blame the outgoing scandal-wrapped Congress, dominated by Cacophooke's popular
force party. She is promising to build maximum security prisons and send the army into the streets. Sanchez, a member of that Congress, plans the nationalized large chunks of the economy and curb imports. The tightly-contested election is expected to be decided by the unusually high number of
undecided voters who at this satisfied with both candidates. For NPR News, I'm Simeon Tagal, in Lima, Peru. This is NPR News in Washington. Police and anti-Is protestors clashed again late Saturday night outside an immigration detention center in northern New Jersey.

the third leg of the triple crown.
Aaron Shelo Levine, with member station WAMC, was at the Saratoga Race Course in Upstate New York, the temporary home to the Belmont Stakes since 2024. The three-year-old cult again made history, coming from behind to in Saturday's Belmont Stakes. That made Golden Tempo a two-leg triple crown race champion this season after not running
the pre-pnistakes five weeks ago. In the first leg in May, trainer Sharede Vo became the first woman to win the Kentucky Derby, a race Golden Tempo won from the back of the pack. This weekend's victory came on home turf for Devo, as the Belmont was run for the third and final time in her hometown of Saratoga Springs, while its usual downstate home undergoes
a half billion dollar renovation.
Local track regular and carry said she'd bet on Devo's horse. For NPR News, I'm Aaron Shelo Levine in Saratoga Springs.
