Good morning, I'm Craig DeGrelli. It is unclear this morning whether the U.S.-Iran ceasefire is still holding
0:43
after both sides reported new attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Central Command says American forces sank six Iranian small boats
0:52
they believe were targeting civilian vessels. CENTCOM also reports Iran launched cruise missiles, drones, and additional boats at ships under U.S. protection in the strait
1:03
Iran has not confirmed those claims, but state media aired video of its Navy firing what it called warning shots toward American destroyers
1:11
CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper said the U.S. has cleared a safe shipping lane through the strait
1:17
and established what he called a defensive umbrella of helicopters and fighter jets to protect commercial traffic
1:24
Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates says its air defenses intercepted more than a dozen missiles and multiple drones launched from Iran on Monday
1:33
Tehran has not denied those strikes, but hasn't claimed responsibility either. Iran's foreign minister warned in a post on X that the United States and UAE, quote, should be wary of being dragged back into a quagmire
1:47
Despite the escalation, President Trump and U.S. military leaders are not saying whether the ceasefire still stands
1:54
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs are set to brief reporters this morning which may clarify where things go from here New questions this morning after gunfire broke out near the White House on Monday as Secret Service agents confronted an armed man near the Washington Monument
2:11
Officials say an agent spotted a man who appeared to be armed, and when they tried to approach him, he took off and opened fire
2:17
Agents returned fire and hit the suspect. A 15-year-old was also struck during the shooting
2:23
Investigators believe the gun and fired the shot and say the teen's injuries are not life-threatening
2:28
This all unfolded just minutes after Vice President J.D. Vance's motorcade passed through the area while President Trump was holding an event at the White House
2:36
The Secret Service says there's no indication the suspect was targeting the White House
2:41
He's now in the hospital as investigators work to determine a motive. A federal judge apologizes in open court to the man accused of trying to assassinate President Trump
2:51
over how he's been treated in a Washington, D.C. jail. In a hearing Monday, Magistrate Judge Zia Farraqui pressed officials over the conditions for Cole Allen
3:01
saying he was deeply troubled by what he was hearing. According to the New York Times, Allen was held alone for up to 23 hours a day
3:09
under conditions the judge described as effectively solitary confinement. Farraqui didn't hold back, saying, quote
3:16
I'm obviously very concerned about how we've gotten here. He's been treated completely differently than anyone I've ever seen
3:23
Allen is accused of storming the White House Correspondents' Dinner, armed with guns and knives, charging a security checkpoint
3:30
and firing from a 12-gauge shotgun before Secret Service was able to stop him
3:35
Prosecutors say this new video from the night of the dinner shows him pacing inside the Washington Hilton
3:41
then suddenly rushing toward officers with a weapon. They also say he told investigators he did not expect to survive
3:47
which factored into the initial decision to place him on suicide watch
3:52
Some of those restrictions have since been eased, but the judge is now ordering a full
3:56
accounting of how those conditions were set. The case is also drawing political reaction with U Attorney Jeanine Pirro criticizing the judge remarks writing on X in part quote welcome to Washington D where U Magistrate Judge
4:11
Farraqui believes a defendant, armed to the teeth and attempting to assassinate the president
4:16
is entitled to preferential treatment in his confinement. The 31-year-old Allen remains in
4:22
federal custody and, if convicted, could face life in prison. New details this morning in the search
4:28
for those two missing American soldiers in Morocco. It turns out one may have gone into the water
4:34
trying to save the other. Defense officials tell CBS News a soldier fell into the ocean
4:39
during an evening hike near coastal cliffs and another jumped in to try to save him
4:44
Officials say a small group first tried to form a human chain, but when that failed
4:49
the second soldier went into the water and a wave hit him. The two soldiers now missing
4:54
were both unable to get back to shore. A third soldier also jumped in, but was only able to make it back alone
5:01
The search is now on its fourth day, with aircraft drones, ships and divers scanning the Atlantic coast near the CAPTA training area
5:10
Soldiers were part of African Lion, a large multinational exercise, though officials say the incident was not related to the training
5:18
Officials have not released the names of the missing soldiers. New video shows the moment a United Airlines plane clipped a bakery truck on the New Jersey turnpike
5:27
as the plane was coming into land at Newark Airport. Take a look
5:36
Wow, right there. Video from inside the truck shows the driver singing along to a song on the radio
5:42
just moments before the passenger jet, with more than 230 people on board, struck his trailer
5:48
The driver, who works for H&S Bakery in Baltimore, suffered cuts to his hand and arm from flying glass, but is expected to be okay
5:56
The plane also hit a light pole, which fell onto a Jeep. Nobody in the Jeep was hurt
6:01
Officials say no passengers or crew on board the plane were injured The FAA and NTSB have classified the incident as an accident and are now investigating what went wrong United Airlines says the flight
6:14
crew is now removed from service pending the outcome of the investigation. Finally this morning
6:20
stunning new images from NASA's Artemis 2 mission are now being released. NASA has dropped more than
6:26
12,000 photos, look, including close-ups of the moon's surface, star trails, and astronauts looking
6:32
back at Earth from deep space. And here's the kicker. Many of them were shot by the crew
6:37
themselves using iPhone 17s and Nikon cameras. The four astronauts traveled nearly 700,000 miles
6:45
on the 10-day mission, looping around the moon without landing. Along the way, they captured
6:50
rare views of the far side of the moon and a total solar eclipse. NASA is now preparing for
6:56
the Artemis 3 mission, which will include the Orion space capsule traveling into low Earth orbit
7:02
and attempting to dock with lunar landers developed by SpaceX and Blue Origin. That
7:07
mission is expected to take place sometime in 2027. All right, before we head out, here's what
7:12
