Welcome to Scoop, where you get the scoop on this week's news.

My name is Jenna, and this is Smarter News.

Hi, everybody.

It's great to see you on a very busy Monday in June.

Every week we realize as we wake up in the morning that the day could bring

something unexpected, that perhaps our stories could take a turn. But I don't know about you.

Sometimes I just fall into a routine and I forget that the unexpected could really happen

at any moment. Other times, though, we have a news item that we know has significantly shifted

the story. And that's what we received this weekend with news of an American attack on Iranian

nuclear sites. And in order to understand this news story and the significance of it and what's at stake

next and to entertain all the questions that so many of us have about what lies ahead,

we really need to take a deep breath and understand some of the context for this news. And that's

what I hope to do today for you. So to look forward to

taking your questions as we're a part of the live scoop broadcast as we are every, every Monday.

And I really just want to say welcome to our Scoop insiders that are supporting smarter news

for the price of a cup of coffee once a month. I thank you so much. I'm also going to have a very

special announcement for you later on in

the broadcast, but I want to quickly get to the news. We have some developments that we're seeing

periodically come across our desk. And these sort of breaking news items I want to be really careful

with because as soon as we say them out loud, they could change. For example, there was a shelter-in-place ordered by the U.S. Embassy in Qatar.

Cutter is the site of our largest military base in the Middle East.

And that was news today of a curiosity about could our military bases come under attack?
