President Trump is again threatening to blow up Iran's electricity plants and oil wells if Iran fails to reach a deal with the U.S.

about the war.

Writing online this morning, Trump says the U.S.

could possibly blow up Iran's desalination plants, too.

He says his administration is in talks with a new Iranian regime that he describes as more reasonable.

Officials in Kuwait say Iranian attacks have killed a worker from India and targeted a Kuwaiti power and desalination plant.

NPR's Aya Batraoui explains why these plants are vital.

Russia says one of its oil tankers has now docked in Cuba with emergency fuel.

It's the first such delivery since the Trump administration imposed an energy blockade three months ago.

NPR's Charles Mainz has more from Moscow.

Some TSA agents may start getting paid this week.

President Trump signed an executive order telling the Department of Homeland Security to find money to do this.

even though it's not clear if this is legal.

George Boric is a local union leader and TSA worker at Atlanta's main airport.

He says even if TSA workers get paid, they'll still face hardship.

The House and Senate have passed competing bills to fund DHS.
