Tensions Rise as Iran Escalates | Washington DC News

A ship in the Strait of Hormuz was struck by a projectile this morning—no injuries—but tensions are soaring as Iran vows to escalate after a ceasefire expired, with Russia reportedly sending more aid. The President reaffirms his nuclear non-proliferation stance on Iran, echoing his past position on North Korea, even as South Korea worries about scaled-back U.S. military drills. Domestically, the White House defends the President’s relationship with an aide amid First Lady concerns, while the Supreme Court again declines to review his sexual assault case. ICE is offering liability insurance to local police to strengthen immigration enforcement, and efforts continue to restore gun rights for felons. A new poll shows the Iran conflict has cratered the President’s approval rating. Meanwhile, a judge sides with moving the FBI to Prince George’s County, and DC prosecutors seek to keep a woman jailed for allegedly defacing the WWII memorial.
