What recent events occurred in the Strait of Hormuz involving Iran?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst. At least two commercial vessels flying under the flags of India and the U.K. came under fire today after Iran's military reimposed its restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz. No fires or casualties were reported. Dury Baskawan has more.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operation Center said one oil tanker was approached by two gunboats belonging to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, which fired on the ship.
In a statement released to Iranian state media, the country's National Security Council said that Iran is, quote, "...determined to exercise supervision and control over traffic through the Strait of Hormuz until the war is definitively ended and lasting peace is achieved in the region." Regional countries are still pushing for the U.S.
and Iran to extend a shaky ceasefire to make time for renewed peace negotiations. In remarks to reporters, U.S. President Trump said that, quote, very good conversations were going on between the U.S. and Iran and that they got a little cute. For NPR News, I'm Dari Bouskaran in Van, Turkey.
Wisconsin is recovering from an onslaught of heavy rain and severe storms this week. Mayan Silver of member station WUWM has more.
People were still trying to dry out from heavy rains and flooding from earlier in the week when more rain hit. In Milwaukee County, rivers overflowed and intersections flooded, leaving people in cars stranded. People like Maddie Salsuazio, who was rescued by firefighters.
After like a couple minutes, we just realized that we were like in the water and then we couldn't get out. So we pulled into the middle and we turned on our hazards and then we were there for probably like 30 minutes.
For many in Wisconsin, this week's rain is bringing back not so distant memories of last August's record rainfall and flooding, which received a natural disaster declaration. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has declared a state of emergency. For NPR News, I'm Ayaan Silver in Milwaukee.
President Trump signed an executive order this morning that could make certain psychedelic drugs more available for treating mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. NPR's Daniel Kurtzleben reports the administration is framing the drugs as a way to deal with a national mental health crisis.
