Trump weighs ‘massive attack’ on Iran; Tariffs return after Supreme Court setback

President Trump says he's close to a decision as the U.S. and Iran trade another round of strikes

while the chances of a deal are fading fast. Plus, the tariffs are back. This time, Trump takes a different legal path to tax imports

And tensions rise in Madison, Wisconsin, after a deadly police shooting sparks protests and a state investigation

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

President Trump says he's close to deciding whether to launch what he calls a massive attack on Iran

as the two sides trade another round of strikes across the region

Iran launched another wave of drone attacks targeting U.S. assets in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan

after American forces carried out strikes against Iran for a 13th consecutive night

Iranian state media says the overnight U.S. offensive killed at least four people

and wounded several others in southern Iran. U.S. Central Command says the latest strikes targeted Iranian drone sites

command centers, and other military targets in an effort to further reduce the threat

to commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. It comes after Trump told Axios he is considering

a massive attack on Iran, is close to making a decision, and that, quote, they haven't received

enough pain yet. Trump also said the U.S. will use Iranian funds in its possession to compensate

ships or cargo damaged in Iranian attacks. Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister warns any

country that assists U.S. attacks could also become a target. If you're just waking up to

the news this morning, a new round of President Trump tariffs officially took effect overnight

The administration began imposing new import taxes of 10 to 12.5 percent on goods from 60

trading partners, replacing the temporary tariffs that expired at midnight. The new

levies target countries, the administration says, are not doing enough to keep goods made

with forced labor out of global supply chains Trade Representative Jameson Greer says the goal is to pressure those countries to crack down on forced labor while protecting American workers In a statement Greer said today action

will begin to correct what is both a human rights abuse and distortive trade practice to improve the

welfare of workers everywhere. Trump is using a different section of federal trade law this time

after the Supreme Court struck down his earlier tariff strategy, ruling he did not have the

authority to impose broad import taxes under emergency powers. Hours before these new tariffs

were announced Thursday, Justice Elena Kagan pointed to the court's earlier tariff ruling

as an example of the judiciary checking presidential power. You know, tariffs is probably the key

policy issue for this president. I mean, something he campaigned on, he ran on

He cared an enormous amount about. I don't think that there are all that many decisions in recent times

where a court strikes down such an important policy to a sit-in president

This latest round of tariffs uses a different trade law than the one the Supreme Court rejected earlier this year

setting up the next legal battle over Trump's tariff strategy. The mayor of Madison, Wisconsin, is urging calm after a deadly police shooting sparked protests and a state investigation

Demonstrations broke out after bystander video captured the fatal police shooting of 38-year-old Corey Ruiz

during a confrontation with officers Wednesday. Ruiz is identified as black or Latino in Wisconsin court records

Police say he pulled the knife during a struggle with officers, injuring one of them before an officer opened fire

Police had responded to the scene after reports of a man trying to open doors of parked cars

On Thursday, about 20 protesters interrupted a police news conference with one taking the microphone from Chief John Patterson

and clashing with others who wanted to hear details about the investigation

Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway says the shooting will receive a full independent review

This is an incredibly difficult moment for the Madison community. and I understand the very strong emotions that people are feeling I feeling them too As a city as a community as a society we have to do better

I want to be clear. It does not matter who you are or what your past is

You should not lose your life as a result of an encounter with law enforcement

Black lives matter! The department has placed the four officers involved on administrative leave

while the Wisconsin Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation leads the shooting probe

The Justice Department is dropping subpoenas that sought phone records and grand jury testimony from New York Times journalists

The move comes after a federal judge sharply criticized how the Trump administration pursued the case

The subpoenas stem from The Times reporting on President Trump's Qatari-gifted Air Force One jet

including stories about its security capabilities. During a hearing Thursday, the judge said the government appeared to have ignored rules

requiring subpoenas targeting journalists to be a last resort. He also cited what he called sloppy legal work

accused federal attorneys of misleading the court in signed filings, and said he would normally consider sanctions in a civil case

The administration has also withdrawn similar subpoenas, seeking testimony from Washington Post and Wall Street Journal reporters in separate national security leak investigations

This morning, West Virginia is shifting from rescue to recovery after days of devastating flash flooding that left at least two people dead, destroyed homes and forced more than 100 water rescues

The rain is finally letting up, but for many communities, the hardest part is just beginning

Take a look at this. A family in Buckhannon had just enough time to get to higher ground before floodwaters swallowed their yard

Across northern West Virginia, streets turned into rivers, cars, school buses and parking lots disappeared under muddy water as first responders used boats to rescue stranded residents

Governor Patrick Morrissey deployed 500 National Guard members. Rescuers have saved more than 100

people and search crews continue looking for anyone who might still be missing Officials say some communities were hit by as much as seven inches of rain with nearly four and a half inches falling in just 37 minutes Wow The silver lining this

morning, the rain has eased a bit, giving crews a chance to clear roads, assess the damage

and begin what officials say will be a long recovery. Finally this morning, sometimes a

little help goes a long way. You're going to love this story. In Little Rock, Arkansas

a man in a wheelchair got some help from a very unexpected Good Samaritan

Take a look. The man was trying to cross six lanes of traffic at a red light

but as you can see, he wasn't going to make it across before the light changed

That's when Christopher Hellenthal sprang into action. He was sitting at the light in his Jeep

dressed as Spider-Man after attending a superhero-themed event. So what did he do

He hopped out, ran into the intersection, and gave the man a running push

helping him reach the other side before traffic started moving. Helenthal says he didn't think twice

He just saw someone who needed help. Well, Christopher, you're an everyday hero
