The president makes a major announcement on Iran. The Department of Homeland Security is back in the news.

In fact, it never really left, but we have some updates on a hearing last week that more closely

resembled a segment of the Real Housewives rather than your typical capital hearing. I'll explain.

And also, there's a story about rocket scientists mysteriously disappearing. I'm not sure what to make of this story, but I think it should be on your radar. Hi, everybody. Welcome to Scoop. I'm Jenna. This is Smarter News. And we have a lot to get to today, including some of this breaking news from the president here early on Monday. For our new followers and new listeners, Scoop is about giving you a really good broadcast, a solid,

nonpartisan news broadcasts to kick off your week so you know what stories matter,

you know what to watch for, we know unexpected things can happen, but I want to get you

for support of our mission. So some of our big stories that we're going to cover today really

take us really all around the world. We're going to talk a little bit about Iran. We're going to talk

about the Department of Homeland Security. And we're also going to talk about a couple missing

people cases that have been in and out of the news. And we're going to

tie that to the bigger picture of missing persons in America that is just sort of an interesting

statistic to understand and to think about as we're taking in some of these stories. So

another busy week. It hasn't slowed down in 2026. And so let's get straight to the president.
