Hey, it's Michael. Before we begin today's show, a quick update on the situation in the Middle

East. On Monday afternoon, Iran struck back against the U.S. Iran's military launched an attack on

the Al-Odeid base in Qatar, the largest U.S. military installation in the region. It was retaliation for the

American attack on three of Iran's critical nuclear sites over the weekend. But according to

the times, Iran had coordinated the attacks with Qatari officials beforehand in order to

minimize casualties. U.S. air defenses intercepted almost all

the Iranian missiles, and U.S. officials said that there were no reports of American casualties

or meaningful damage at the base. It appears that Iran carried out a largely symbolic act

of revenge that would allow both sides

to potentially de-escalate the conflict. And within a few hours, President Trump seized

on that possibility, declaring that both Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire after a deadly

week of war.

That's what we know for now.

As always, we'll keep reporting on any developments and bring them to you as soon as we can.

Okay, here's today's show.

From New York Times, I'm Michael Bobarrow.

Thank you. I'm Michael Barrow. This is the Daily. In New York City, today's Democratic primary for mayor has quickly become an excruciatingly close contest between two candidates who are offering themselves as the solution to what's wrong

with their party in the age of Donald Trump.

I spoke with my colleague, Nick Fandos, about the competing visions that the election is offering,

who's most likely to win, and what the outcome may tell us about the kind of party that Democratic voters now want.

It's Tuesday, June 24th.
