News Summary at 1:57 a.m. EDT

A second news roundup at 1:57 a.m. EDT reiterated major headlines including U.S.-Iran escalation and political updates in the United States. AP reported that President Donald Trump threatened Iran following Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s funeral, saying that “1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded” aimed at the Islamic Republic, with more potentially following if Iran acts on its threat. The item noted multiple days of U.S. airstrikes targeting Iran and Iranian retaliatory fire aimed at countries across the Middle East. AP also covered Maine politics: Graham Platner filed paperwork to withdraw from the state’s U.S. Senate race, and the Maine Democratic Party scheduled a nominating convention for July 25 to pick his replacement for the November ballot. The roundup further said Trump opted not to sign a housing affordability bill as a protest tied to a stricter GOP voter ID measure, and that he removed members of the Election Assistance Commission.
