Summary
We're covering the breaking news out of the Persian Gulf, as the United Arab Emirates is accused of directly striking Iran's capital Tehran in the midst of a battle between Iranian port Bandar Abbas on the Strait of Hormuz and U.S. Navy vessels. The ceasefire doesn't appear to be holding. MEANWHILE: Midterm drama and redistricting as Tennessee becomes the latest state to remove racially gerrymandered districts. Fighting between representatives followed. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attempts to take the spotlight again as Barrack Obama gets back into the game. Much more to come as news breaks!
