"Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has expected to announce new aggressive sanctions on
“Iran on Monday, which President Trump is calling "Economic D-Day."”
Iran says that any country that participates in these efforts will be considered an enemy and targeted. NPR's Hadidil Al-Shaltri reports. President Trump has warned that the U.S. will wage new economic warfare against Iran this week.
Iran has spent almost half a century weathering the weight of U.S. sanctions with ordinary Iranians bearing the brunt of the consequences. Trump didn't outline details of the new punishment, but said that they would be "unprecedented" and aimed at forcing Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz. In an interview on state TV, Iran's new security chief said that Iran would quote "harm
the interests of surrounding countries if they joined Trump's new economic war." Iran has been targeting U.S. military installations in the Gulf and Jordan since the beginning of the war. Hadidil Al-Shaltri and PR News Istanbul In Nevada, wildfire has grown to 15,000 acres and is now approaching the city of Reno, the Washo County Sheriff says the place was human
caused.
“Fire officials say 90,000 residents should either evacuate or be ready to go.”
K-U-N-R's Maria Palmer has more. The Huckfire has burned more than 10,000 acres in Reno, Nevada. It remains a zero-person contained. About 400 personnel from local, estate, and federal agencies are working the fire, including ground in their crews.
Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo has declared a state of emergency in Washo County and activated the Nevada National Guard to support the response. For NPR News, I'm Maria Palma in Reno. The U.S. cattle industry is reacting to the Trump administration's plan to bring in 300,000 metric tons of imported beef with reduced tariffs for 90 days.
The move is aimed at temporarily lowering public abeaf prices for consumers, Texas Public Radio's Jerry Clayton has more. The plan, which was announced late last week, has been mostly met with skepticism from the nation's beef producers. Julie Louie is a seventh-generation cattle rancher in Southwest Texas.
This is a very backhanded way of trying to assist the American consumer while putting down
“the very entities that are trying to see to America.”
Louie says foreign beef is not produced with the same standards as in the U.S. When you increase our imports for ground beef, yeah, you might make it affordable for the everyday of American, but you're costing them the quality. Both the national cattleman's beef association and the Texas and Southwestern cattle razor's association criticized the plan, along with many Republican leaders.
I'm Jerry Clayton and San Antonio. Police and Oregon are investigating the deaths of five people found in a rural property about 30 miles west of Portland, as a quintuple homicide. Authorities responded early Saturday that reports of a vehicle fire, but found the remains of five people and several domestic animals.
Officials now say their suspect in the deaths has been found dead in Washington State. You're listening to NPR news.
The state of Tennessee is moving forward with plans to execute a woman for the first time
in more than 200 years. Tony Gonzalez with member station WPLN reports that especially appointed investigator has found that lethal injection would not violate the woman's rights against cruel and unusual punishments. Facial team for Christophec argues lethal injection would be torturous because she has
a blood clotting disorder. They're especially worried about the process after a botched execution of another inmate in May. And they say pikes lifetime of sexual trauma could be triggered when she's moved to an all-male prison and controlled by male guards ahead of her execution.
They've even suggested hanging as an alternative. But especially appointed judge disagrees, and his report is now in the hands of the Tennessee Supreme Court, which has the final say. It was 18 when she tortured and murdered a teen coworker in Knoxville.
She would be the first woman executed in Tennessee since 1819.
For NPR news, I'm Tony Gonzalez in Nashville. Kyle Kirkwood won the inaugural Freedom 250 Grand Prix race Sunday. It was the first-ever Indie car race to be run on the streets of Washington, DC. President Trump began the festivities driving a ceremonial lap in the presidential limousine before waving the green flag.
Christian Lungard finished in second, followed by Will Power in third. Windham Clark had three birdies on the back nine Sunday to finish the PGA Golf Championship at St. Louis with a three-shot win. It was his third victory of the year. He had lost a five-shot lead on the 11th-hole Patrick Cantley closed with three birdies
for a 68 and finished his runner-up while Roy McElroy came in third. I'm Dale Wilman, NPR News. Money is named for the first amendment, which protects the freedom of the press and your freedom to speak out. Our weekly series, if you can keep it tackles the big political stories of the day.
