cannot sustain its attacks. We've got no shortage of munitions. Our stockpiles of defensive and offensive weapons allow us to sustain this campaign as long as we need to. Again, our munition status only increases as our advantage increases.
Hegseth warned Thursday that the strikes against Iran were, in his words, about to surge dramatically as Israel bombards both Tehran and Beirut and Tehran launches retaliatory strikes. On Capitol Hill Thursday, the Republican-led House narrowly rejected a resolution that would have curbed President Trump's powers in the Iran war.
The Senate defeated a similar war powers resolution along party lines Wednesday. U.S. Army has named the last two soldiers killed by an Iranian drone attack. So far, six U.S. soldiers have been killed since the Iran war began. As NPR's Quill Lawrence reports, they died on base in Kuwait in the first hours of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
The military has identified 45-year-old Major Jeffrey R. O'Brien of Indianola, Iowa. And in an unusual announcement, the Army said the other soldier is believed to be Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marsan of Sacramento, who was 54.

Chapter 2: What recent developments are happening in the U.S.-Iran conflict?
But positive identification of his remains have not yet been completed by a medical examiner. All six of the soldiers were with a logistics company out of Des Moines, Iowa, and deployed to Port Shuaiba, Kuwait. The Pentagon has denied media reports that their office on base lacked sufficient protection. Quill Lawrence, NPR News.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will be leaving that position at the end of the month. President Trump made the announcement on social media Thursday, saying Oklahoma Republican Senator Mark Wayne Mullen will replace Noem. He'll have to be confirmed by the Senate. NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben has more. The move comes after Noem had two combative hearings on Capitol Hill this week.
She has faced bipartisan criticism over how her agency handled the immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, where federal agents killed two citizens. Members also grilled Noem on department spending, for example on a luxury jet and a border security ad campaign. Trump said Noem will be the new special envoy to a security initiative including Central and South American countries.
That initiative will be announced on Saturday. Mark Wayne Mullen served in the House for a decade before becoming a senator in 2023. Prior to becoming a lawmaker, he was a business owner and mixed martial arts fighter. Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR News, the White House. Texas Republican Congressman Tony Gonzalez is abandoning his re-election campaign.
He made the announcement late Thursday, a day after a congressional ethics panel announced an investigation into an affair he's acknowledged with a former staffer who later died by suicide. This is NPR. A digital tool that helps guide doctors and nurses through a diagnosis could help address growing antibiotic resistance.
And Pierre-Jonathan Lambert reports on a tool that cuts in antibiotic prescriptions threefold in Rwandan clinics without compromising care. In many rural clinics in Rwanda, nurses can see up to 60-some patients a day. Victor Pasifik Gwando-Dagach is a physician from Rwanda. He says that leaves nurses little time for diagnosis.
That's why sometimes you find them giving a high number of antibiotics just in case. He was part of a study that found about 70% of pediatric visits there end with an antibiotic prescription. That's likely much higher than necessary and contributes to antibiotic resistance.
But a digital tool that guides clinicians step-by-step through the diagnosis and treatment cut antibiotic prescriptions to just 25% of visits. That drop didn't seem to impact patient outcomes. The research was published in the journal PLOS Medicine. Jonathan Lambert, NPR News.
The Pentagon is labeling the artificial intelligence company Anthropic as a supply chain risk, a move that could force other government contractors to stop using Claude, Anthropic's AI chatbot. In a statement Thursday, the Pentagon said that it has officially informed Anthropic and that the designation is effective immediately.
