What immediate U.S.-Iran developments are reported at the top of the show?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst. The U.S. is striking Iran again tonight in response to an Iranian attack on a civilian vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. And Iran says it's again closed the strait after a ship using a, quote, unauthorized route was hit by a warning shot. This after President Trump said the ceasefire agreed to in the Memorandum of Understanding that was signed three weeks ago. is over. Ariane Tabataba Yee is with the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.
You have a regime that is much more emboldened today, much less willing to make concessions and uphold them when it comes to the United States, and is holding a grudge. And so on the U.S. side, you have a mercurial president who is also very keen to kind of react to whatever you see on the Iranian side. So this combo is bound to lead us to where we are as we speak.
Speaking there on NPR's All Things Considered. The Justice Department has subpoenaed at least four journalists from The New York Times over the paper's recent reporting about possible security concerns involving Air Force One and aircraft donated by the Qatari government. The Times reported President Trump left Turkey this week on the old Air Force One after the Secret Service intervened. NPR's David Folkenflik reports the subpoenas heightened the ongoing clash between the White House and the press.
The Times says an FBI official initially asked the paper to hold off on publishing and then asked for its sources. The Times refused. On Friday after publication, federal agents went to the homes of several of the journalists involved to deliver the subpoenas. The Justice Department and the FBI did not return requests for comment. David McCraw, a senior lawyer for The New York Times, called it a brazen attempt to intimidate reporters and The Times and to prevent the public from knowing how the government operates. The journalists have been instructed to appear before a grand jury next week. David Folkenflik, NPR News.
It was a mixed week on Wall Street. As NPR's Scott Horsley reports, traders mostly shrugged off the renewed fighting in the strait and the effect on retail gas prices has been limited.
Crude oil prices jumped after President Trump declared an end to the U.S. ceasefire with Iran. Bond yields rose, and so did mortgage rates.
How do experts describe the shifting U.S.-Iran dynamic and presidential reactions?
The average rate on a 30-year home loan is just under 6.5%. The National Association of Realtors says home sales dropped in June, which is ordinarily one of the busiest months for selling. The average sales price of a home jumped to a record high of more than $440,000. The Nasdaq got a boost on Friday when shares of the giant South Korean memory chip maker SK Hynix began trading there for the first time. For the week, the Nasdaq rose 1.75%. The S&P 500 index rose 1.25%. And the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell about four-tenths of a percent. Scott Horsley, NPR News, Washington.
In men's World Cup soccer, England is headed to the semifinals after beating Norway tonight 2-1 in extra time. They play the winner of the Argentina vs. Switzerland game on NOW. This is NPR. Canada and the U.S. have agreed to a deal on toll revenue for a new one-and-a-half-mile bridge connecting Detroit with Windsor, Ontario. President Trump had threatened to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge and delayed the opening by a month over Trump's trade war with Canada. It's named after the famous Canadian-born hockey player, but today he says the U.S. secured a much better deal allowing the opening of the bridge to proceed that will happen at the end of this month. In tennis, newcomer Linda Noskova has won the women's singles title at Wimbledon.
Vicki Barker has more from London.
Wimbledon's first all-Czech women's final turned into a nail-biter. 21-year-old Linda Noskova dominated the first set, beating her one-time Olympic doubles partner 6-2. But the more experienced Karolina Mukova came from behind in the second set, winning that 7-5 with an agonizing five missed championship points for Noskova.
