Live from NPR news on trial Snyder, the US and Iran are again exchanging fire.

The U.S. truck area is along the straight-up for moves and north of the Persian Gulf.

Iran says the attacks hit a wedding, killing at least five people and wounding more

than 50 impures Ayah Petrari has the latest. Iran's foreign ministry says strapped for a U.S. attack in Hormuzgon province along the straight-up of Hormuz hit a wedding, killing and wounding people. Iranian officials say communication towers in the area were also knocked out. Iran's state TV, quoting a local official, reports most of those wounded are women in children

who were transferred to a hospital in Minab, the same city where Iran says a U.S. strike in February, killed at least 120 school children. The Pentagon is still investigating that attack. President Trump says the latest U.S. strikes are in retaliation for Iran's "failed attempt

at adding sea mines in the straight-up of Hormuz. He warned a further strikes if Iran

responds. But Iran immediately fired back at U.S. troops in the region with Jordan and Kuwait reporting Iranian missile attacks, Ayah Petrari and Peer News, Dubai."

"Now, the Capitol Hill where Congress has managed to avoid a government shut down as voters

head to the polls as fall, a house voted Tuesday to extend federal spending at current levels through mid-December." And President Trump has expected to sign the measure here, Sampiro Sam Greenglass. The extension avoids the political peril of a prolonged shutdown ahead of the mid-terms. The Senate already passed the measure in August, and the house has now followed with

a bipartisan vote 370-48. Congress failed to prevent two record-long shutdowns in the last year, as lawmakers came to impasses over expiring house subsidies and proposals to limit the tactics of immigration agents. In the end, Democrats extracted few concessions, and Congress eventually passed funding agreements,

yet to expire at the end of this month. Talks to fund the government again for a full fiscal year broke down this summer. Now that funding fight has been punted to the end of the year. Samp Greenglass and PR News.

"Messetuses now were jurors in the Lindsey Clancy murder trial, or said to deliberate

for a fifth day. Clancy is a woman charged with killing her three children in 2023, jurors were resumed trying to reach a verdict today. The judge in the case asked him to keep trying, after they sent him a note saying they were deadlocked, reported Deborah Becker, "is covering the trial for a member stationed

WBUR." This jury of nine women and three men have some options.

They've been asked to decide if Lindsey Clancy is guilty of first-degree murder, second-degree

murder, or manslaughter, or if she's not criminally responsible because of her mental state. Her defense argues she was experiencing postpartum psychosis and was not in control of her behavior. The prosecution says she deliberately planned to kill her children. They were five years old, three years old, and eight months old at the time."

The Republican-led House voted 413-2 Tuesday to censure North Carolina Republican Chuck Edwards. And Piero's Claudia Rosales reports a House committee recommended the move after an ethics investigation found he's actually who has two female staff members. Chuck Edwards rejected the allegations taking to the House floor to urge his colleagues to vote

against censure, and while he apologized to the two female staffers at the center of the probe, he said he should be judged on the quote "facts." Mr. Speaker, regret is not an admission of sexual harassment. However, the 65-year-old congressman ended his reelection bid after the panel shared its investigative findings, the House Ethics Committee said Edwards created a hostile work environment

fueled by sexual harassment and unwanted advances on two of his employees. The center marks a rare public shaming on the House floor, the panel's maximum punishment short of expulsion. Claudia, do you say this? In Piero News.
