School Are Back In Session-Drive Carefully

Five Things to Know

U.S. denies Iran struck one of its ships, North Korea puts second naval destroyer into service, and U.S. envoys enjoy ‘good discussion’ with Zelensky following meetings with Putin.

1. The U.S. military denied that Iran struck an uncrewed American military vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, calling the claim a “total lie.” A top Iranian official said Tehran plans to announce an “exclusion zone” outside the Strait of Hormuz aimed at vessels it believes are attempting to transit the waterway. State-run media in Tehran said the U.S. vessel was trying to enter an area that Iran says is restricted in the Strait of Hormuz, but Capt. Tim Hawkins, spokesperson for the U.S. Central Command, called it “a total lie.” The claim came a day after the U.S. said it struck Iranian oil tankers in retaliation for Iran launching ballistic missiles at Navy warships.

Bucks, Chester DAs Urge Emergency Kratom Ban

On the first day of school for many Pennsylvania students, Bucks County District Attorney Joe Khan and Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe today sent formal letters to Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Debra Bogen, urging the Department of Health to immediately exercise its emergency powers to schedule 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) and related kratom derivatives as controlled substances under state law.

The urgent request comes as students return to school amidst a growing proliferation of potent kratom-derived synthetic products being sold over the counter at smoke shops, gas stations, and other local retailers. Products containing 7-OH, a concentrated alkaloid found naturally in trace amounts in the Southeast Asian plant kratom, produce opioid-like effects on the body comparable to morphine or heroin.
