1. The Trump Administration is calling the weekend strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran a success. The Saturday strikes targeted sites the administration claims were housing nuclear materials, like uranium. But Iran says they moved a lot of those materials out before the strikes. Today, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said they're making sure the 40-thousand U.S. troops who are stationed in the region are safe from any possible retaliation. There's also concern Iran will retaliate by trying to close the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most critical oil "choke-points" in the world. Each day about 20 million barrels of oil flow through the narrow waterway.
2. Will the United States remain involved in the conflict? Senior FBI and Homeland Security officials hosting conference calls with some of the nation's governors and top law enforcement officials to discuss how the U.S. missile strikes in Iran impact an already dangerous threat environment. Ganyard believes if Iranians don't strike back at US forces or US allie sin the region, it COULD be the end of the United States involvement.
3. Roughly half of the nation's population is starting the week under some level of heat alert. That includes us here in Wisconsin. Extreme Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories continue until seven o'clock tonight. The record high for us today is 95 degrees set back in 1934. Our friends over at TMJ4 are forecasting 95 today, so we'll see if we match that record or possibly exceed it. Relief finally comes tomorrow for us. Our high temp tomorrow will be just 80 degrees.
