President Trump is offering another upbeat assessment of the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes against Iran, saying they're far ahead of the initial timeline. NPR's Sage Miller reports on what the president had to say at yesterday's news conference in Florida.
Trump says the U.S. has begun targeting Iran's drone manufacturing facilities.
We know all of the places they manufacture the drones and they're being hit one after another
Trump also says the U.S. is attacking the facilities where Iranian missiles are made and delivered. But he says some of the biggest targets, like electricity production, remain. Oil prices surged after the war prompted the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, effectively choking off a key route. Trump had this warning for Iran if they try to stop the global oil supply chain.
We'll take them out so quickly, they'll never be able to recover, ever.

The concert ticketing giant Live Nation says it's reached a settlement with the Justice Department in its antitrust case. Still, as NPR's Isabella Gomez-Sarmiento reports, not all of the 39 states involved have signed off on the settlement.
Live Nation reached this settlement with the Justice Department. just days into a trial meant to break up the company and its subsidiary, Ticketmaster. Instead, the company will allow amphitheaters across the country to work with competing promoters. Those promoters can decide how to distribute up to 50% of tickets, and there will be a cap on ticket service fees for those shows. The Justice Department had alleged that Live Nation and Ticketmaster were monopolizing too many aspects of the live events industry, including ticketing, promotion, artist management, and venue ownership. Despite news of a resolution to the federal case, 26 participating states and the District of Columbia say they reject the settlement and will move forward with a lawsuit.
