The guy may have been looking to just shoot up the ballroom. It was a long way from where he was captured - a floor above the ballroom - down the stairs, and into the ballroom entrance opposite the dais, where Trump and others sat. Trump may not have even been a target.

Mississippi Delta farmers are facing a severe financial crisis in early 2026, driven by a "perfect storm" of rising operating costs and retaliatory tariffs. The combination of surging fertilizer/fuel prices due to the war with Iran and ongoing trade disputes has left many farmers facing consecutive years without significant profit, with some warning of potential bankruptcy and an inability to continue operations.

"The dismissals are the latest in Mr. Trump's clash with scientific research organizations, as his administration cuts funding to its lowest level in decades."

The last tankers to leave the strait before Trump's war of choice delivered the last loads last Monday.

The defense secretary has gone further in his public statements, saying, "Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield, a capital V military victory," Hegseth said at a Pentagon press briefing on April 8, shortly after Mr. Trump declared a ceasefire with Iran. He added, "By any measure, Epic Fury decimated Iran's military and rendered it combat ineffective for years to come."

Roughly 60% of the naval arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is still in existence, the officials said, including fast-attack speed boats. On Wednesday, Iranian gunboats attacked several commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, shortly after President Trump announced he was unilaterally extending a ceasefire to allow more time for peace talks.

Iranian air power has been significantly degraded but not erased, said the officials, who requested anonymity from CBS News because they were not authorized to discuss the matters publicly.

About two-thirds of Iran's air force is still believed to be operational, the officials said, after an intensive U.S. and Israeli campaign that struck thousands of targets, including storage and production facilities.

Previously, the president and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have described the U.S. effort, called Operation Epic Fury, as essentially destroying Iran's military capacity.
