About this listen

 Today’s Headlines: The U.S. launched military strikes on three of Iran’s key nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—this weekend, marking a major escalation in the Israel-Iran conflict. President Trump called the operation a “spectacular military success,” though Iran claimed it had already moved its enriched uranium, blunting the strike’s long-term impact. Notably, senior Republicans and Israeli leadership were briefed beforehand—Democrats were not. In response, DHS issued a terrorism alert for a heightened threat environment this summer, citing potential cyberattacks and global protests. At the UN, Iran accused the U.S. of destroying diplomacy and Russia warned the strikes opened a “Pandora’s box.” Meanwhile, Pakistan bizarrely announced it will recommend Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for allegedly mediating peace between India and Pakistan—something Indian officials firmly deny. In domestic news, courts issued a series of major rulings: a judge ordered the release of Palestinian grad student Mahmoud Khalil from federal detention, prompting a DHS appeal; Trump was granted continued control of California’s National Guard amid immigration protests; and a Louisiana law requiring display of the Ten Commandments in schools was struck down as unconstitutional. Finally, HHS will end LGBTQ-specific services on the 988 suicide hotline by July 17 and Cybernews reported that 16 billion login credentials were leaked online in a massive data compilation.
