Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Donald Trump expressed frustration with Iran and told it the “clock is ticking,” hours after drones targeted a nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates.Tehran “better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them,” Trump said on Truth Social on Sunday. These were his most belligerent comments regarding the Iran war, which remains in a fragile ceasefire, since he returned to the US from China on Friday.2) Aaron Rai was just another name among a dozen others who had reason to believe the PGA Championship was theirs for the taking Sunday at tough Aronimink.There was Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Xander Schauffele, with 10 majors among them, all ready to seize the moment on a stage that was unfamiliar to Rai.Justin Thomas was the clubhouse leader for nearly four hours after a 65 before the course turned hard under a hot sun.3) Long Island commuters are poised to battle congested roads and packed buses as a workers’ strike threatens to disrupt travel in and out of New York City unless negotiators can strike a deal.Monday would be the first weekday since the Long Island Rail Road, the nation’s busiest commuter railroad, stopped service on Saturday after roughly 3,500 engineers, signalmen and electrical workers walked off the job following a stalemate between the state-run Metropolitan Transportation Authority and union leaders on a labor deal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
