Live from NPR News, I'm Joel Snyder. President Trump said Monday the Iran war could be over soon.
We're achieving major strides toward completing our military objective. And some people could say they're pretty well complete. We've wiped every single force in Iran out. Very completely.
Speaking with reporters in Miami, Trump said the U.S. is ahead of its initial timeline, but he did not say when the war could end. And he left open the possibility of an escalation if Iran disrupts the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. On social media, he said the U.S. will hit Iran 20 times harder than it already has. Oil prices are sharply lower in Asian trading after shooting up to $115 a barrel on Monday. Oil now trading below $90 a barrel and stock markets in Asia are rebounding. A seventh American soldier has died following an Iranian attack on another U.S. air base in the region. The additional death comes in the second week of coordinated attacks by the U.S.

The president of Ohio State University has resigned after acknowledging an inappropriate relationship that allowed access to school leadership, as NPR's Alyssa Nadworny reports.
The university's president, Walter Ted Carter Jr., had been in the job for two years. While the university did not provide more details on whom the relationship was with or what access was granted, Carter recently disclosed he had a relationship with someone seeking public resources to support her personal business. The university in Columbus, Ohio, serves more than 60,000 students. There has been controversy and student protests on campus this semester. Many buildings are named for Les Wexler, a retail billionaire with strong ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Regarding new leadership, the university said it would share more information in the coming days.

On Capitol Hill, the narrow House majority got tighter on Monday. California Congressman Kevin Kiley says he will still caucus with House Republicans, but he is dropping his party affiliation to serve as an independent. Kiley, a two-term congressman, is facing a tough re-election battle after California redrew its congressional boundaries. This is NPR. A court complaint against two men who brought explosives to a protest outside New York City's Mayoral Mansion over the weekend says they were inspired by the Islamic State extremist group. The two appeared in court Monday on charges that included attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization and using a weapon of mass destruction.
The devices were homemade but did not explode after they were hurled during a Saturday protest. The drugmaker Novo Nordisk and the telehealth company HIMSS have reached a deal to end their legal fight. NPR's Sydney Lufkin has more.
Novo Nordisk will drop its lawsuit against HIMSS. In exchange, HIMSS will stop advertising its compounded version of Novo Nordisk's Wagovi. Compounded drugs are made by a specialized pharmacy, not a drug company. HIMS will continue to offer compounded semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wagovi, but on a more limited scale, it says.
