Chapter 1: What happened in the Iranian missile strike on U.S. service members?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. Multiple U.S. service members were wounded in an Iranian missile strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia today. That's according to an official not authorized to speak publicly. Some aircraft were possibly damaged as well.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on the strike, saying 10 service members were wounded, with two considered seriously wounded. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries haven't joined the U.S. in Israeli-led war. G7 nations meeting in France have agreed to help secure the passage of ships in the Strait of Hormuz, but only once hostilities end.
NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports it's not the full-throated support President Trump was looking for, but U.S. allies refuse to be drawn into the conflict.
Europeans were not informed about the U.S.-Israel bombing campaign and still don't know U.S. goals for the war. Speaking after the summit, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barreau admitted escorts for ships will be necessary. once the fighting stops. Talking to reporters on the tarmac as he left France, U.S.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted it's everybody's responsibility to counter Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Not only is this illegal, it's unacceptable. It's dangerous for the world. And it's important that the world have a plan to confront it. Still, no one knows how and when the conflict will end. Eleanor Beardsley in Pierre News, Paris.
President Trump has signed an order to temporarily pay TSA agents who've worked without pay during the government shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. Meanwhile, House Republicans have rejected a bill that passed the Senate to fund most of DHS through September. The funding lapse is in its 42nd day and created long lines at many airports.
Republicans are angry that the Senate bill would not fund ICE and Border Patrol. Democrats say they won't fund those departments without changes to immigration enforcement. House Speaker Mike Johnson says the House will instead vote tonight on a resolution to fund DHS at current levels until May, as NPR's Barbara Sprunt explains.
First, it has to pass the House. They're going to try to tee up a vote for that later this evening.

Chapter 2: What is the G7's stance on the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz?
If it does pass, then of course it has to pass the Senate. And senators have already left for a two-week recess. But the calendar aside, there is a political reality here as well for Senate Democrats. You know, they refuse to vote for anything that funds ICE. That was their whole premise to begin with, with the shutdown. So I think it's very unlikely that they would suddenly change course.
NPR's Barbara Sprunt reporting. More than 7 million student loan borrowers who have been enrolled in a Biden-era repayment plan will receive notices with instructions to seek a new plan to repay their debt. The SAVE plan was struck down by a federal court this month. Starting July 1st, loan servicers will issue notices giving borrowers 90 days to select a new repayment plan.

The FBI says the data involves no government information. Golfer Tiger Woods was arrested on suspicion of DUI today after a crash near his home on Jupiter Island, Florida. Sophia Baltadano of member station WLRN has more.
The Martin County Sheriff's Office say Woods showed signs of impairment at the scene of the crash, in which he struck another vehicle and rolled over. Authorities say Woods and the other driver were not injured. Woods is also facing another misdemeanor charge of refusal to submit a lawful test.
While Woods took a breath analyzer test, which registered nothing, police say he refused to submit a urine sample. The accident marks the third time Woods has been involved in a car crash. In February 2021, his SUV ran off a coastal road in Los Angeles, causing multiple leg and ankle injuries.
He was also arrested on a DUI charge in 2017 when South Florida police found him asleep behind the wheel. For NPR News, I'm Sofia Balterrano in Miami.
