Good morning. It's Monday, June 8, 2026. The biggest story today is the sharp escalation between Iran and Israel. Iran fired ballistic missiles toward northern Israel on Sunday, the first such attack since an April 8 ceasefire.
Israel responded with airstrikes on military targets in central and western Iran, including sites near Tehran. All 12 victims of a separate shooting at a festival in Toledo, Ohio, are in stable condition as police continue their manhunt.
The Top Stories
Iran launched ballistic missiles at Israel on Sunday, according to U.S. officials who confirmed President Trump was briefed. Israel struck back with airstrikes on military targets in central and western Iran early Monday.
Explosions were reported in several Iranian cities, including Tehran. The strikes followed an Iranian missile attack and came after Israel hit Hezbollah targets in Beirut.
Why it matters: The exchanges test a fragile April ceasefire and raise the risk of wider war in the Middle East. President Trump called for Iran and Israel to immediately stop firing at each other.
He also requested changes to a draft agreement negotiated by U.S. envoys. The amendments focus on Iran's nuclear material and the timing of any deal. A U.S. official said Trump was directly involved in talks.
Why it matters: The president's direct comments and requested changes could shape the next steps in diplomacy aimed at preventing further conflict. In Toledo, Ohio, police are pursuing multiple leads in a manhunt for at least two gunmen who shot 12 people near the Old West End Festival.
The victims, ranging in age from 14 to 61, are all in stable condition. The shooting happened as the popular summer event drew large crowds. Why it matters: Local authorities continue to seek the suspects while the community recovers from the violence.
Washington & the Nation
The White House is moving forward with plans to build a new secure ballroom. Officials say the modern facility will meet today's security standards and address threats that older parts of the building cannot handle.
The project has been in development for some time. President Trump requested specific changes to a draft agreement with Iran during a Situation Room meeting on Friday. The proposed amendments center on limits to Iran's nuclear material and the schedule for carrying out the deal.
U.S. envoys had negotiated the original draft. In New York City, several people were stabbed near Penn Station in Manhattan last Thursday. One victim was seriously injured.
Amtrak Police are leading the investigation into the incident near the busy transportation hub. No arrests have been announced.
Around the World

The death of Khamenei has added uncertainty to the already tense situation. Israel launched airstrikes on Hezbollah command centers in Beirut after rockets struck northern Israel.
