Dale Willman opens the bulletin with the night's biggest story: the US military announcing it has finished its latest strikes on Iran, with attacks explicitly aimed at curtailing Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. NPR's Carrie Khan reports that CENTCOM posted early Monday on X that overnight strikes hit more than 140 targets — drone launch sites, naval capabilities, military infrastructure, and ammunition storage. The strikes are not isolated; they are the latest escalation in a string of attacks that began after an Iranian strike on a commercial vessel in the Straits on Saturday. Iran wasted no time, saying it responded by sending drones and missiles toward Gulf states where US military bases are located, signaling that the exchange of hostilities is far from over.
