0:00Live from MPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. President Trump brief reporters in Miami Monday 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, impure as Mara Laisen. 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 out. But this was a declaring victory speech and we would assume that after you declare victory you look for an offering. The price of crude oil surge Monday to 120 dollars per barrel, the highest since 2022 before falling back to $90 per barrel. Some analysts are concerned that the market continues to underprice the risk of a prolonged conflict in Iran. The effective closure of the

And some Gulf oil fields have had to stop production because there is simply nowhere to put their oil without sending it through the strait. A minabucker 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 Strait of Hormuz and slowing oil back up again from all these producers that curtail. U.S. gasoline prices are up about 50 cents a gallon from before the attack and diesel rose even more sharply. Camila Dombinowski 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.

2:01Michigan 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

3:05anti-trust case, but not all 39 states have agreed to the terms. NPR's Isabella Gomez-Sarmiento 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.
