saying the military operation in Iran has been a tremendous success suggesting the war could

end soon. But he also said he wants to be sure Iran cannot develop nuclear weapons in

Purismar Eliasin. He was declaring victory. At one point he said this was just an excursion. We're

close to finishing very, very soon. But he also talked about doing more. He said we could call

this a success or go further. We're going to go further. So it's a little bit unclear as to

how soon he wants to get up. But this was a declaring victory speech. And we would assume that after

you declare victory, you look for an offer. The price of crude oil surge Monday to $120 per

barrel. The highest since 2022 before falling back to $90 per barrel. Some analysts are concerned

that the market continues to underpriced the risk of a prolonged conflict in Iran. The effective

closure of the straighter for moves blocking around 20% of the world's oil and liquefied national

gas in Pierce Camila Dombanowski reports. Both sides in this conflict are attacking oil facilities.

And some Gulf oil fields have had to stop production because there is simply nowhere to put their

oil without sending it through the straight. A minibucker with the trade intelligence company Kepler

says even global oil reserves can't easily correct the supply shock. The only thing that could

really, you know, turn this around is the reopening of the straighter for moves and flowing

oil back up again from all these producers that curtail US gasoline prices are up about 50 cents a

gallon from before the attack. And diesel rose even more sharply. Camila Dombanowski and PR news.

Australia has granted asylum to five members of the Iranian women's soccer team. The team was

in the country for the Asian Cup tournament when the Iran War began. Officials say the five

players sought an asylum because they feared persecution in Iran. The announcement came after

President Trump said he had spoken with Australia's Prime Minister. At Michigan State officials are

asking whether more could have been done to track and prepare for the tornadoes that killed at least

four people last week. Michigan Public Radio's Rick Pluta reports. Democratic Governor Gretchen

Whitmer has asked for a federal inquiry into whether budget cuts to the National Weather Service

affected its ability to see trouble coming. And why no tornado watch was issued for some communities

in the path of the deadly storm. Democratic State Senator Sean McCann says that's a fair question.

It's certainly an open and valid question to wonder whether or not they are able to deliver

all of the services that they have in the past and going forward effectively.

McCann shares the State Senate Energy and Environment Committee and says this latest weather disaster

in Southwest Michigan will require a review of emergency warning systems. For NPR news, I'm Rick Pluta

in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Yeah, and you're listening to NPR news.

The entertainment company Live Nation has reached a tentative settlement in its anti-trust case,

but not all 39 states have agreed to the terms in Pierce, Isabella Gomez, Sermiento reports.

Live Nation reached this settlement with the Justice Department just days into a trial meant

to break up the company and its subsidiary, Ticketmaster. Instead, the company will allow amphitheaters

across the country to work with competing promoters. Those promoters can decide how to distribute

up to 50% of tickets and there will be a cap on ticket service fees for those shows.

The Justice Department had alleged that Live Nation and Ticketmaster were monopolizing

too many aspects of the live events industry, including ticketing, promotion, artist management

and venue ownership. Despite news of a resolution to the federal case, 26 participating states

and the District of Columbia say they reject the settlement and will move forward with a lawsuit.

The Artificial Intelligence Company and Thropic is challenging the Trump administration's decision

to designate the company a supply chain risk and Thropic filed two separate lawsuits Monday,

one in California federal court and another in the federal appeals courts in Washington, D.C.

Lawsuits escalate the dispute with the Pentagon over usage restrictions on the company's technology

and Thropic is seeking to undo and block enforcement to the designation.

Financial markets in Asia are rebounding and Tuesday trading, following Monday's rally on Wall Street,
