Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) The US widened the scope of its airstrikes on Iran overnight, striking a military site near the north-western city of Tabriz. The Iranian government activated air defenses in Tehran and the US struck other areas, with Iran firing on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan. There are no negotiations between the US and Iran, with a spokesman for the Iranian ministry saying "our new message is that the enemy violated the memorandum and should implement it."
2) President Trump said generic drug manufacturers must move production to the US or face a 100% import duty from August 2028. The move aims at “reshoring” generic pharmaceutical production in the US, with companies that don’t build plants onshore facing levies that would then double, to 200%, in August 2029. The planned tariffs would raise costs for manufacturers, risking higher prices and potential shortages for generic treatments that account for more than 90% of US prescriptions.
3) New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill said about 6,600 people who identified themselves as noncitizens were registered to vote due to a software error in the state’s motor vehicle system. The applicants answered “no” when asked on a keypad whether they were US citizens while applying for driver’s licenses and identification cards, but the system registered them anyway. A preliminary analysis found that fewer than 400 of the people who were registered cast ballots, and they were registered as Democrats, Republicans and unaffiliated voters, and were spread across the state.
