Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korva Coleman. Israel's military says it has begun a new wave of strikes across Iran's capital, Tehran. Multiple sites have been targeted, including cruise missile factories. Meanwhile, Iranian missiles and drones set off a barrage of sirens today in Israel. NPR's Carrie Khan has more.
Sirens sounded throughout Israel in rapid succession late morning Wednesday in multiple parts of the country. Police and rescue services say several sites were hit by debris from either missiles or interceptors. One Iranian missile fell near a major power plant. Israel's electric corporation reported no damage. Israel's air force says it continues to cripple Iran's missile manufacturing, including striking two Tehran factories Tuesday. Two Israeli military officials tell NPR that several more weeks of fighting are needed if Israel is to complete its war goals. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive topics. One of the officials says that timeline could be cut short as the U.S.
makes efforts to end the war. Carrie Conn, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
Stocks opened higher this morning as the average price of gasoline nears the $4 mark. NPR scout Horsley reports the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped more than 300 points in early trading.
Forty-five percent of Americans say they're concerned about being able to afford gasoline in the coming months. That's according to a new survey from the Associated Press and the National Opinion Research Center. AAA says the average price of gasoline nationwide now tops $3.98 a gallon. That's up about a dollar since the war with Iran began. Crude oil prices have eased a bit on hopes for a negotiated end to the conflict. The U.S. benchmark for crude has dropped below $90 a barrel. The leader of the European Central Bank is warning businesses may be quick to raise prices in response to the wartime surge in energy costs. A report from S&P Global shows businesses are already hiking prices at the fastest pace in three and a half years.

The National Transportation Safety Board continues to investigate Sunday night's deadly crash at New York's LaGuardia Airport. Two pilots were killed as they landed their jet and collided with a fire truck that had been directed onto their runway. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy says federal investigators have found there were only two air traffic controllers on duty and the fire truck did not have an ASDX transponder. That's a device to help find aircraft and vehicles on tracking systems.
We've repeatedly recommended that ASDX transponder. Well, in order for ASDX to work well, you have to know where ground vehicles and aircraft are. So in this case, that vehicle did not have a transponder.
She also says it's too early to say that the air traffic controllers were distracted by too much work. On Wall Street, the Dow is now up 280 points. It's NPR. The Eastern European nation of Moldova has declared an energy emergency. That's because Russian attacks on neighboring Ukraine have cut a vital power line that severed electricity to much of the small country. The Moldovan parliament has voted to impose the energy emergency for up to 60 days. A new survey shows nearly one-third of Americans have sought health advice using artificial intelligence. According to KFF, it's more common among younger people and those who lack access to health care. NPR's Yuki Noguchi has more.
People under the age of 30 are far more likely to turn to AI, especially when it comes to advice on mental health. The KFF survey on health information and trust found they were three times more likely to seek emotional support from AI than those 50 and over. The ability to ask questions quickly and in private were big reasons people do so. But one in five people consulted AI because they either could not afford care or lacked a provider. Again, those under age 30 were far more likely to cite those as reasons for turning to chatbots. Yuki Noguchi, NPR News.
A jury in New Mexico has found social media company Meta failed to warn users about the danger children face when using its platforms, such as Instagram.
