In his primetime speech from the White House, Trump stated that U.S. "core strategic objectives" in Operation Epic Fury are "nearing completion" after 32 days. He described "overwhelming victories," saying Iran's military capabilities (navy, air force, missiles) have been crippled and it is "no longer a threat."

Trump warned the U.S. will "hit them extremely hard" over the next 2-3 weeks, potentially targeting electric grids to "bring them back to the Stone Ages" if no deal is reached. He framed the conflict as payback for decades of Iranian aggression, predicted it would end "shortly," and urged allies to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. No new announcements on ground troops or exact timeline.

Two controversies are rocking the New Hanover County Democratic Party. First, school board candidate Rick Southerland withdrew after backlash over undisclosed ties to a registered sex offender, James Osborne—who lived with him, helped campaign, and is now facing charges for illegal voting.

Second, party leaders are dealing with allegations against David Andrews, the husband of a Wilmington city councilwoman and a Democratic precinct chair, accused of sexual harassment and aggressive behavior at party events. The county party has filed a formal grievance seeking his removal and a ban from future activities.
