What happened in the U.S. strikes on Iran and where were targets hit?
Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. The U.S. military says the latest strikes on Iran lasted for seven hours. In a statement, the military said it hit dozens of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian coastal areas. Earlier, the U.S. reimposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports over attacks on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. A bipartisan Senate group is moving forward with a Russia sanctions bill. NPR's Claudia Rosales reports on the bill that's become a tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
What is included in the bipartisan Russia sanctions bill and why is it tied to Lindsey Graham?
The bipartisan group repeatedly evoked Senator Graham's name in touting the plan, which was months in the making. That includes Republican Roger Wicker, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee.
This is Lindsey Graham's greatest achievement. When it comes to saving lives, ensuring peace for Europe, this is a seminal achievement.
The bill would sanction top Russian leaders and force tariffs on countries who import Russian oil. The show of force included several Republican committee chairs and top Democrats who said they have the votes for Senate approval. Graham, a day before his death, said he had reached a deal with the White House on the bill to help end Russia's war with Ukraine. Claudia DeSales, NPR News, the Capitol.
Lindsey Graham's sister Darlene Graham was sworn in Tuesday to serve out the remainder of her brother's Senate term. An outbreak of a parasitic gastrointestinal disease growing across the United States. Quinn Kleinfelter of member station WDET reports the epicenter of the disease is in Michigan.
Cyclosporiasis causes weight loss, cramping, and what's known as explosive diarrhea. It's affecting over 30 states, but has hit Michigan hardest. Cases here have doubled in less than a week to more than 3,300.
How widespread is the cyclosporiasis outbreak and what foods are suspected?
Wayne State University Dr. Tina Chopra says the parasite causing the illness most likely came from fresh produce, but she says pinpointing the exact source is difficult.
They had to interview 1,000 people to come to this conclusion that it might be lettuce or cabbage or some green leafy salad.
The disease does not spread from person to person and can take weeks for symptoms to develop. For NPR News, I'm Quinn Kleinfelter in Detroit.
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh was on Capitol Hill Tuesday where he promised lawmakers on the House Financial Services Committee that the Fed will get inflation under control.
Now at the Fed... Our number one objective is getting monetary policy right. That's our clear and constant aim, the star we steer by. And if we get policy right, and I can assure you we will, the inflation surge of the last five years will be a thing of the past.
Boris Shapiro before the panel as fresh data showed inflation cooled in June. This is NPR News. In France, a wildfire is burning in a forest 35 miles south of Paris.
What did the Federal Reserve tell Congress about controlling inflation?
NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports that the blaze has forced some 1,000 people in and around a historic forest to flee their homes and may have been started by a criminal act.
The Fontainebleau Forest surrounds the 16th century chateau of the same name and was long a hunting ground for French royalty. Today, it's known for its rock climbing, camping, and biodiversity and welcomes some 18 million visitors a year. The fire broke out Sunday in more than 10 places, say officials who suspect human involvement. Two people have been apprehended for questioning. Some 900 firefighters are battling the flames, which raged all night.
How severe is the Fontainebleau forest wildfire and what response efforts are underway?
France's iconic Mediterranean firefighting planes have been brought in and are scooping water from the Seine River to fight the blaze. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Paris.
Sunday's fire at a bar in Bangkok has claimed two more lives. Officials in Thailand say the confirmed death toll is now 32. More than 70 people were injured and officials say 30 remain hospitalized with 15 in intensive care units. An investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing. Witnesses described an explosion, a burst of fire and smoke engulfing the venue. The World Cup final coming into focus. Spain shut down France Tuesday, advancing to Sunday's title match with a two goals to nil victory in Arlington, Texas.
