Trump says leakers should be shot; Ukraine drones hit by new Starlink restrictions

President Trump says government leakers should face the ultimate punishment

Leakers should be, in my opinion, leakers should be shot. What prompted those comments and the new military plans for Iran

Plus, new satellite restrictions disrupt Ukraine's drone operations. Now Zelensky is questioning whether he can still count on the U.S

And Trump's new press secretary says she's a lawyer. But there's a question about her credentials, and now a watchdog wants an investigation

The stories that matter. The facts you can trust. From across the country to around the world

this is Unbiased Updates from Straight Arrow. Hey everybody, I'm Christian Bryant. Glad you're hanging out with us this morning. Let's get you

caught up so you can get your day going. We begin this morning with President Trump saying government

leakers should be shot as the military draws up new plans for possible strikes on Iran

At a campaign rally in Arizona Wednesday, Trump claimed he had to call off a planned

attack on Iran after someone leaked the timing. He appeared to be referring to Operation Midnight Hammer, the U.S. strikes on three Iranian

nuclear sites in June of last year. Those strikes did go ahead

A preliminary defense intelligence assessment later leaked to the media suggested the damage

was less severe than the administration had claimed. At Wednesday's rally, Trump said leakers should face life in prison or worse

Leakers should be, in my opinion, leakers should be shot. In the old days we used to shoot leakers, you know, when they leak, what time you're

going to attack a country. And the reason you're attacking is really for defense, because you don't want them to

have a weapon that can blow up millions of people at one shot

No, leakers should be dealt with very, very strongly. They're real. To me, they're the scum of the earth

The leakers are the scum of the earth. Meanwhile, CNN reports the U.S. military has developed new strike plans for Iran, including

the possible use of the so-called Mother of All Bombs. It's the largest non-nuclear bomb in the American arsenal, and using it against Iranian energy

facilities or nuclear sites would mark a significant escalation in the war

The plans are options for Trump to consider, not orders to launch an attack

The president has said he wants to resume strikes but has sent mixed signals about whether that could happen before the midterm elections Also new this morning Iran is insisting the Strait of Hormuz remains closed as reports emerge of two ships being struck in the waterway this week

Iran's Revolutionary Guard confirms a cargo ship sank Wednesday, but claims it hit a naval mine while taking what it calls an unauthorized and hazardous route

A U.S. official disputes that account, telling ABC News the ship was most likely hit by an Iranian missile

We're following breaking news out of Pakistan this morning, where at least 28 people are

dead after a school roof collapsed. Authorities in Peshawar say 27 students, most under the age of 13, and one teacher were killed

And they warn the death toll could rise, with children still trapped beneath the rubble

Rescuers have pulled at least 45 children from the debris, some in critical condition

According to NBC News, one rescuer says the roof of an upper floor gave way, bringing

down the ceiling below and collapsing both stories. Authorities say they're investigating

what caused the collapse. Ukraine is demanding answers after sudden restrictions on a satellite

system its military relies on to fight Russia, and President Zelensky is now openly questioning

whether he can still count on the United States. Ukrainian officials say new speed limits on

SpaceX satellite connections disrupted drone operations this week, including missions to shoot down incoming Russian drones. Some connections were restored Wednesday, but Ukraine

says the restrictions are still preventing its drones from reaching the speeds they need

and the timing has raised suspicions in Kyiv. The problems followed President Trump's deal to buy

diesel from Russia, despite sanctions aimed at cutting off money for Moscow's war. Trump has

also criticized Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil facilities and suggested Zelensky should be

replaced. During a visit to London Wednesday, Zelensky raised concerns about both the satellite

restrictions and problems with intelligence sharing. We have massive attacks today and it's

a pity that we have also some difficulties. What I want to discuss with Andy about Starlink and about

intelligence. I mean, a lot of different surprises on which you can't count when you have

real partnership and we count on partnership with the United States. We just want to be very honest

very clear and be strong partners Ukrainian officials say they been asking SpaceX and the U government who imposed the limits Elon Musk says there an important distinction here Commercial Starlink service is controlled by SpaceX but Starship the military satellite

system, is controlled by the U.S. government. In a post on X, Musk said any restrictions on

Starship are decided by the U.S. military and, ultimately, the president. A senior U.S. official

denies the Trump administration had anything to do with the reported service restrictions

But Zelensky's frustration with Trump is now spilling into public view. Listen to what he told host Piers Morgan on Uncensored

When you found out that President Trump had done this deal with Putin

21 days after new sanctions, what was your immediate response to that

It's a pity that we are losing. We are losing strong partner

So this is my opinion. You think you're losing America? Yeah, but not because of us

We can't be weak. Otherwise, we can't survive. Otherwise, we are not selling our country

Look, guys. Ukraine is still pushing for the satellite restrictions to be removed entirely

And its officials say they need an explanation for why some Russian missile attacks came without the advance warning they normally receive from Western partners

Trump says the U.S. has not stopped sharing intelligence with Ukraine. President Trump's new press secretary, Katie Zachariah, is facing questions about her legal credentials just days into the job

Zachariah has repeatedly described herself as a lawyer, but so far, there's no public record showing she's licensed to practice law

On Wednesday, the nonprofit watchdog Campaign for Accountability filed a complaint with the State Bar of California asking it to investigate whether she misrepresented her credentials

Now, Zachariah does have a law degree. She graduated from Pepperdine University in 2011 and later worked at a law firm in China

But a law degree is different from a license to practice. And a review of bar records across all 50 states and Washington, D.C. found no record of her being admitted

After her first White House press briefing Tuesday, Zachariah told reporters she passed

the bar after moving to China. She later said she misunderstood the question and thought she was

being asked where she went after law school. Zachariah maintains she worked in international

transactional law with the appropriate credentials In a post on X White House communications Director Stephen Chung dismissed the Watchdog group as politically motivated calling it a quote radical leftist

organization and saying nobody takes it seriously. The state bar has not confirmed whether an

investigation is underway. And here's something new for your next trip to the sunscreen aisle

For the first time in more than 25 years, there's a new sunscreen ingredient approved for use in the

U.S. It's called Bemotrizinol or BEMT for short. It's been used in Europe for years, but products

containing it are just now hitting store shelves in America. And dermatologists say it has some

real advantages. It protects against both types of harmful UV rays without leaving those white

streaks you sometimes get with mineral sunscreens. It also doesn't appear to absorb into the blood

stream in significant amounts a concern with some older sunscreen ingredients. The FDA approved it

in June after reviewing safety studies involving more than 500 people. And you can already find it

in some new sunscreen products, including ones from Neutrogena. Finally this morning, a remarkable

discovery off the coast of Turkey. Divers believe they found what could be the world's oldest known

shipwreck. Archaeologists believe the ship sank as long as 4,700 years ago during the Bronze Age

To put that in perspective, that's around the time the Great Pyramids of Egypt were being built

The wreck was discovered about 100 feet below the surface. The ship's wooden frame is long gone, but divers found more than 30 clay pots that helped

researchers estimate its age. And some of those pots still contain residue that scientists believe could be from olive

oil or wine. Researchers hope the discovery will help them better understand how people traded goods

by sea thousands of years ago. We give you the headlines here
