Summary

Today’s Headlines: U.S. intelligence is expecting Iran to launch an attack on Israel this week, with reports indicating that Iran has been prepping its missile and drone units, similar to what they did before their strike in April. The U.S. is working closely with regional allies and European countries, issuing a stern warning to Iran about the serious consequences of any deadly attack. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has also ramped up U.S. defenses in the Middle East. On the cybersecurity front, the FBI is investigating attempts by Iranian hackers to breach both the Trump and Biden-Harris campaigns, sparking fresh worries about foreign meddling in the 2024 election. In other news, Donald Trump reportedly flew to a rally on a plane that once belonged to Jeffrey Epstein, adding another bizarre twist to the campaign trail. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. is facing legal challenges to stay on the ballot in several states. Lastly, California experienced a 4.4 magnitude earthquake near Los Angeles, but fortunately, there were no major damages or casualties.
