Today is Tuesday, April 7th. We're talking about President Trump's renewed ultimatum for Iran,

0:05.4

as his deadline to begin destroying the country's infrastructure is now just hours away.

0:10.9

Also, a closely watched election happening today and a moving tribute from space that brought

record-breaking Artemis two astronauts to tears. Plus, how a new court ruling could influence the

0:21.2

debate over prediction markets, why a music festival headliner is causing worldwide controversy,

0:26.8

and who's celebrating a March Madness Championship for the first time in 37 years. Those

stories and even more news coming up. Welcome to The Newsworthy, all the day's news in less than 15 minutes. I'm Erica, Mandy.

Thanks so much for being here. Let's do this. President Trump now says Iran could be taken out in one night,

0:50.4

1:33.7

much about his latest threats. Meanwhile, as of this morning, the Iranian government is still showing

1:38.5

no interest in surrendering. And Iran is still under attack regardless of tonight's deadline.

1:45.8

Just yesterday, Israel announced it killed the head of intelligence for Iran's military, and it hit a second Iranian petrochemical facility

1:51.2

in just a matter of days. A U.S.-based rights group says so far, more than 3,500 people have been killed in

1:57.4

Iran during the war. About 1,500 have been killed in Israel's attacks in Lebanon,

2:02.5

and dozens more have died from Iran's retaliatory strikes in Israel and Gulf Arab nations.
