This is WBZ at Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Mostly sunny and ninety two degrees in Boston at four o'clock at afternoon. I'm Suzanne Salzville. Here's what's happening. The US bombs three Iranian nuclear sites in an effort code named Operation Midnight Hammer. After the bombings, President Trump claimed success, although there's no confirmation yet on how much damage was done to Iran's nuclear capabilities. ABC Selena Wing has more E twoe.
Bombers dropped thirty thousand pounds bunker busting bombs, the first time they've ever been used in history. Sources had told us that the President before this had been warned that it wasn't guaranteed to be successful since they've only been used in testing before but never actually deployed in war. Now, the President is arguing that this was a success, that Iran's nuclear capabilities have been completely obliterated, but we do still need to wait for that battlefield assessment.
Iran's foreign minister accused the US of crossing a very big red line and said his country has the right to defend itself. Meanwhile, local officials are reacting to the US strikes on Iran. Wbz's Charlie bergeron has that part of the story.
Senator Elizabeth Warren stating Donald Trump's bombing of Iran is unconstitutional and only Congress can declare war. Senator Ed Markey releasing a statement on the strike, saying that a diplomatic solution remains the best way to prevent Iran from attaining a nuclear weapon. Congresswoman Iana Presley reacting on X saying this is a violation of the Constitution that is risking innocent lives. Congress must act immediately to reign in Trump.
Representative Jim McGovern says Congress must return to Washington immediately to stop the US involvement in Iran. Reaction not entirely negative in the Commonwealth. Massachusetts Republican Party Chair Amy Carnivali calling out former Massachusetts Senator John Kerry for making poor deals with Iran, saying she commands President Trump for making the tough decision to use force so Iran is not capable of carrying out widespread nuclear destruction.

Radio, Senate Republicans working on President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill suffer a setback. The AP's Donna Warder with that.
Senate Republicans working on a tax and spending bill are scrambling after being told by the Senate parliamentarian that a proposal to shift some of the cost of food stamps from the federal government to states would violate the Chambers rules.
The parliamentarian's rulings are advisory, but they're rarely ignored, and shifting tens of billions of potential savings from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program to offset the costs of the four point five trillion dollar tax breaks plan was a centerpiece
of the GOP's efforts. Staff has been working through the weekend, often toward midnight, to assess the one thousand page proposal, which points to serious trouble in the Senate after the House approved the bill last month on a party line vote. President Donald Trump wants a bill passed and signed by July fourth. Dona Water, Washington.

School districts have until the end of the month to comply with the law. Parents can sign waivers, but can also later revoke their consent. That worries Powell High School Principal Jennifer Kincaid and Frankfurt.
