Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. President Trump says the U.S. is achieving major strides in its military objective against Iran. NPR's Sage Miller reports on Trump's comments yesterday.
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.
Trump says the U.S. is ahead of its initial timeline, but he didn't say when the war would likely end. Sage Miller, NPR News.
What major military objectives is President Trump announcing regarding Iran?
Meanwhile, crude oil prices are up to about $92 a barrel. In the U.S., gas prices rose a nickel at the pump overnight. That's according to the motoring club AAA. It says the average price for a gallon of regular is now $3.54 a gallon. That's more than 50 cents higher than it was 10 days ago. Here's NPR's Camilla Dominovsky.
the conflict does stretch on. A lot of analysts expect these prices to go up. And if anything, it's surprising that prices weren't much higher than this much sooner. The flow of traffic through the Key Waterway, the Strait of Hormuz, that dried up more than a week ago.
NPR's Camilla Dominovsky reporting. The Pentagon says Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kaine, will hold a press conference next hour. It will be at the Pentagon. Turkey says it's deploying more Patriot missile defense systems. These will be stationed in a province hosting a NATO radar base. Turkey is a NATO member. This comes as Iran has recently fired two separate ballistic missiles toward Turkish airspace. NATO defenses shot them down. Artificial intelligence firm Anthropic is suing the Trump administration. That's for designating the AI company a supply chain risk. NPR's Bobby Allen reports Anthropic says the federal government is illegally retaliating against it.
Anthropic filed two lawsuits alleging that Trump officials broke the law by placing the company on a contractor blacklist. The company says it came after Anthropic said its powerful AI programs could not be used in lethal autonomous weapons nor to spy on American citizens. After that, the Pentagon labeled Anthropic a supply chain risk, a label typically used against foreign adversaries like China. The suits say Trump officials violated the company's free speech and exceeded the law's authority on supply chain rules. The Pentagon would not comment on the suit. President Trump has said he will order all federal agencies to stop using Anthropic's AI tool. Claude, Bobby Allen, NPR News.
You're listening to NPR. There's a special election today in a Georgia congressional district formerly represented by Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. She broke with President Trump over the Epstein files, and she left office in January. There are 17 candidates running for her old job, and they're all running against each other today. Party affiliation does not matter in this Georgia special election. Greene has not endorsed anyone. California incumbent Congressman Kevin Kiley has left the Republican Party. In an announcement, he says he is re-registered as an independent and is running for re-election. Kiley's move comes as California voters approve the redrawing of state congressional districts.
Kiley's district now leans Democratic. People who take hormone therapy to treat symptoms of menopause are experiencing delays when they go to pick up their prescriptions.
