“The Iranian government has not claimed responsibility for yesterday's strike.”
NPR's Deepashivaram reports it is unclear how the warning President Trump issued today will affect the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran and Washington's attempts at bringing an end to its war with Tehran. Trump posted on social media that Iranians shot down the U.S. Army helicopter while it was patrolling over the straight of Hormuz, that vital waterway has been a point of contention
in the war and negotiations for a peace deal. Trump added that the two pilots in the helicopter are safe and not injured, but he said the U.S. quote "must out of necessity" respond to the attack. The White House has not responded to NPR's request for comment on how a U.S. response might impact the ceasefire that was previously agreed to between the U.S. Iran and
Israel. The U.S. and Israel's war with Iran has dragged on for months longer than Trump originally projected. Deepashivaram and PR news.

Every single election expert I talked to expects Trump to follow this exact same playbook in November if he does not like the way results are coming in.
You can sort of imagine a scenario where control the U.S. House rests on a few competitive districts in California, we're waiting on those results for up to a week, just like we are right now. That could be a potentially dangerous time. And PR's Miles Parks reporting.
Chrysler is recalling more than a million Jeep Wranglers and gladiators and warning owners
to park outside the vehicle's power steering wiring can overheat. Here's in Pierre's Camilla Dominozki. The recall affects gladiators and wranglers from model years 2021 through 2025. The vehicles may have been built with a faulty electrical connection inside the hydraulic power steering pump.
If the connection gets loose, it can overheat and cause a fire. Chrysler's parent company's delantis is aware of dozens of incidents related to this problem and at least one injury. Dealers will replace faulty parts for free, and until owners can schedule an inspection to see if they need a repair, still yet is advising them to park away from buildings and

Publio the 14 stepped into Spain's culture wars during a visit to Barcelona today.
