Missiles fly on Day 100 of war in Iran; Penn Station stabbing injures six

A ceasefire is hanging by a thread. On the 100th day of the war, Israel and Iran are trading attacks again

Plus, a knife attack inside Penn Station sends six people to the hospital

Now police are trying to figure out what led to the violence. And UFC fights on the White House lawn now facing a court challenge

Why opponents say the event does not belong on federal grounds. The stories that matter, clear and credible, from across the country to around the world

These are your unbiased updates from Straight Arrow. Good morning, I'm Craig DeGrelli. The war in Iran has reached its 100th day

and the already fragile ceasefire is under new strain after Israel and Iran traded fresh

attacks overnight. President Trump is urging both countries to, quote, immediately stop shooting as

the fighting threatens to unravel the truce. Iran is blaming the United States for the latest

escalation. A foreign ministry spokesperson said nobody believes Israel acts without coordination

from Washington and warned the U.S. would bear responsibility for the consequences

Iranian officials say Israeli strikes damaged a petrochemical plant in the country's southwest

and a military complex in northern Iran. Meanwhile, the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen

claim responsibility for an attack on what they called sensitive Israeli targets

The Houthis also announced a ban on Israeli ships traveling through the Red Sea

a critical global shipping route. Israel's military says its forces targeted truck-mounted surface-to-air missile launchers in separate strikes

As of this morning, the exchanges were still continuing. This morning, police are trying to determine what sparked a stabbing attack inside New York's Penn Station that left six people injured

The violence broke out just after 7 p.m. Sunday inside one of the nation's busiest transit hubs beneath Madison Square Garden

Authorities say one person suffered serious injuries, while four others were hospitalized with minor to moderate wounds

Medics rushed a sixth victim to a separate hospital, though that person's condition has not been released

Amtrak police took one suspect into custody. Officials say the person is believed to have a history of mental health issues

The attack happened as Madison Square Garden prepares to host Game 3 of the NBA Finals tonight, with President Trump expected to attend

One local resident says violence and disorder have become a familiar concern at Penn Station Yeah and I don wanna say that it par for the course for Penn Station but I think the chaos of this and things similar to this is sort of becoming regular

which is scary as someone who uses Penn Station and J Transit frequently

So it's alarming, but the fact that when I heard the news

I was shocked but not completely surprised because this isn't the first time something like this has happened

New York City Mayor Zoran Mondami condemned the attack, calling it horrific and an act of unacceptable violence

Governor Kathy Hochul also weighed in, calling the stabbing senseless and pledging to continue efforts to make New Yorkers feel safe

Elsewhere, more than a dozen people are dead and hundreds injured after a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the southern Philippines

The quake hit just after 7.30 this morning local time in the Mindanao region

Buildings collapsed across the area, and authorities say key roads, bridges, and other infrastructure in and around General Santos City sustained major damage

The earthquake also triggered a tsunami of up to three feet, damaging at least one coastal village

Smaller waves were detected in Indonesia, Palau, and as far away as southern Japan

The quake struck just as students were returning to class for the start of the new school year

One video posted to social media shows children crouching outdoors as the ground shakes beneath them

In another incident, the roof of a high school building collapsed while students were gathered outside on the school's sports field

No injuries were reported. However, the Philippines Office of Civil Defense says at least 19 people were killed in the earthquake

Most in collapsed buildings and landslides, and thousands of residents are now displaced from their homes

Politics now. Democrats in Maine head to the polls tomorrow, with their Senate primary suddenly focused on Graham Plattner's past as much as his campaign

Plattner remains the favorite to win the Democratic nomination and take on Republican Senator Susan Collins this fall

But a series of reports about his treatment of women continues to follow him into the final hours of the race

Last week, the New York Times published allegations from former girlfriends who described Plattner as volatile and at times physically intimidating

Plattner denies any physical abuse and says he's been open about mistakes he made during a difficult period in his life

The controversy dominated the Sunday shows. California Congressman Ro Khanna who campaigned with Plattner in Maine on Friday criticized the candidate past behavior but said many voters had already weighed those concerns His actions were misogynistic they were shameful they were wrong But they didn come as a surprise to a lot of the folks in Maine

And the Maine voters that I met said they don't like it. They knew that he had these chapters

They are willing to extend him grace and redemption. And they're focused now on what

he's running for. Obviously, look, if there was evidence of violence, I would not support him

If there was evidence of a sexual assault, I'd have zero support for him

Virginia Senator Mark Warner offered a more cautious response on Fox News

Listen, if these allegations are true, they're very troubling. And but I don't know if they're true or not

I think, frankly, the people in Maine ought to decide that. I guess they'll have a chance on Tuesday

Supporters argue Plattner has taken responsibility for his past and deserves the chance to move forward

I think Graham Plattner is an amazing brave man. I think he's been through a lot. I think he has found flaws in himself that he's willing to recognize. How many times do we hear something like this and the only response is, that's a lie. That's fake news. It's refreshing to have someone actually own up to stuff that they've done and say, yeah, that wasn't such a great idea. I'm working to be a better person

Tomorrow's primary will determine whether Democrats move ahead with Plattner as their

candidate in one of the party's top Senate pickup opportunities this year

Democrats need to flip four seats in November to win control of the Senate

The UFC's planned fight night at the White House next weekend is facing a legal challenge

just days before the event. Crews are already building the venue on the South Lawn for the June 14th cage matches

which President Trump has promoted as part of the nation's 250th birthday celebration

The date also coincides with Trump's 80th birthday. Now two Virginia residents, including a Vietnam vet, are suing to stop it

The lawsuit argues the White House is being used for a private, for-profit sporting event that was never properly authorized

Plaintiffs also dispute the administration's claim that the UFC event qualifies as an official America 250 celebration

The event is neither for the celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, nor crucially being planned, organized, and executed by the federal government

The complaint alleges the event could financially benefit UFC President Dana White and Trump, citing Trump's investment in UFC's parent company and reports of million-dollar VIP packages

One plaintiff Vietnam veteran Paul Romano says using the Lincoln Memorial for fighter weigh is inappropriate Quote the Lincoln Memorial is sacred ground and it honors everyone who has ever worn this country uniform

Using it as a backdrop for a for-profit cage fight so the president and his friends can make money is a desecration

In his statement to The Hill, the White House called the lawsuit baseless and says the event is no different than other gatherings held on White House grounds

Finally this morning, Madison Square Garden is getting ready for one of its biggest nights in decades

The Knicks host Game 3 of the NBA Finals tonight, their first home finals game since 1999

And with President Trump expected to attend, security is ramped up both inside and outside the arena

The NYPD has canceled a planned watch party outside Madison Square Garden

where thousands of fans were expected to gather. The decision follows Friday night's Game 2 win over San Antonio

When fans flooded the streets around the arena, police made at least two dozen arrests with some people charged after refusing to leave or climbing light poles during the celebration

Trump said last week he planned to attend either Game 3 or Game 4 after receiving an invitation from Knicks owner James Dolan

The White House schedule now shows the president attending tonight's game. That visit is triggering a major security operation involving federal, state and local law enforcement

Authorities are warning of a heightened threat environment. ABC News reports an NYPD intelligence bulletin says malicious actors may view a high profile event like the NBA finals as an attractive target for violence or disruption
