I'm Hyah Punjwani with an AP News Minute in an AP interview.
Johnny Jones, a TSA officer who is also secretary treasurer of AFG TSA
Council 100 union says even though some in DHS are getting
partial payments, Congress needs to come back to work and end
the partial shutdown vacation is canceled. Just like the

work without being paid vacation is canceled. Get your butt up,

to take all the oil in Iran, a move that would require seizing
the terminal through which nearly all of Iran's oil exports
pass. AP's John Gamber reports that Trump has been upping
the ante in the conflict.
Trump has American forces that are moving into the region that
includes US Marines as well as other paratroopers, but it remains

operation on Carg Island or to potentially unblock the
straight hormones, or if this is just another negotiating
tactic. I'm Hyah Punjwani.
