Live from NPR news in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
Iran's revolutionary guard says its Navy and Air Force launched joint missile and drone
“operations targeting U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait, this in response to recent”
U.S. strikes against Iran. The guard says violating the ceasefire will result in the complete halt of all diplomatic processes, according to state media. Meanwhile, NPR's Shandali's duster has more on the U.S.'s fresh strikes against Iran today.
U.S. central command says its forces launch strikes against several Iranian military assets on Saturday. Those assets included Iranian air defense sites, communication systems, and drone storage facilities. Synthcom says the strikes were direct response to an Iranian drone attack on an all-tanker transiting near the straight of Hormuz.
Bahrain has also accused Iran of targeting it with drones. President Trump said in a social media post on Saturday that the U.S. may be forced to militarily complete the job, and if that happens, quote, "Aran would no longer exist." Late Friday, U.S. military forces targeted several Iranian military sites in response
“to an Iranian drone attack, Thursday on a cargo ship navigating the straight of Hormuz.”
Synthcom says commercial vessels are continuing to travel through the straight of Hormuz. Shandali's duster and PR news. Belgium has canceled its annual re-enactment of Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, due to an intense heat wave in Europe. With temperatures around 95 degrees Fahrenheit and a heat alert in place, organizers of
an annual event depicting Allied forces defeating Napoleon Bonaparte's army canceled it, saying
public safety comes first.
Many trains have been canceled or stranded, and authorities warn people to stay in cool environments and drink plenty of liquids. But competitive athletes, Susanne Gibralse, she could find a positive spin. Living in Belgium, obviously, we're not used to this type of weather, it's interval training, because obviously your heart rate is elevated when you're training in such hot weather.
The stopping regularly, but then keeping your training up, it's extra worker. In two Belgian cities, however, surgeries had to be suspended, because a computer system
“located in Paris overheated and shut down.”
For impure news, I'm Terry Schultz, in Brussels. Kentucky's governor Andy Pashar says the death toll from heavy rains that led to flash flooding has risen to at least four. And the crews are conducting water rescues for people from flooded homes and cars. This is a serious enough situation where I have now signing a state of emergency so that
we can deploy even more resources across Kentucky. As of right now, five counties have declared local states of emergency. Kriegs and rivers are overflowing their banks, and flooding forced the closure of several major highways. Pash flood warnings are an effect for parts of the state.
The National Weather Service says more rain is forecast to fall through tonight and hail and gusty winds are possible. This is NPR News. Jamie Davis has won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Louisiana, according to a race called by the Associated Press.
He will face the winner of the Republican primary, also held today, representative Julia Letlow, this November. National Archives says it's closing a regional facility in northern California, a D.T. Ballamoodi with member station KQED has more. An email sent to staff in San Bruno says the federal agency's decision is meant to improve
efficiency and effectiveness. U.C. Santa Cruz professor Caitlyn Colletia says she's worked with the National Archives to access tribal records for her research and uncover family history. I literally don't know what to do, what will happen with these records, what will happen with my grandparents' records, what will happen with the records of all the native peoples
whose lives I've looked into in the past several years. The San Bruno facility, just south of San Francisco, holds original immigration and court records for United States V. Wong Kim Ark, a case that reaffirmed citizenship under the 14th Amendment and inmate case files from Alcatraz. For NPR News, I'm Aditi Bundlamoodi in San Francisco.
The biggest wildfire in the U.S. right now is the fast-moving cottonwood fire and it's hitting Utah's Tinder drive forest, fueled by very dry vegetation and gusty winds. The state's governor declared an emergency and fireworks have been banned. Red flag warnings are also an effect for parts of California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado.
