An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The US military launched a third round of airstrikes against Iran this week after Iran's Revolutionary Guards closed the Strait of Hormuz following a confrontation with a Cyprus-flagged container ship. A civilian crew member is missing and the vessel suffered significant damage. Iran's new supreme leader vowed revenge for the killing of his father, and President Trump ordered the US military to be ready to strike if Iran attempts an assassination. Former US advisor Aaron David Miller said the tactical strikes are unlikely to change Iran's calculation and that Iran has weaponized geography.
Police in Toronto reported at least two people dead and five shot at an annual Latin festival called Salsa on St. Clair, with three separate crime scenes and no arrests.

Ukraine's armed forces said they hit more than 20 Russian ships in the Sea of Azov. In Spain, wildfires in the south have killed at least 12 people, with calmer winds and cooler temperatures helping firefighters. Nearly two million people in China were evacuated ahead of Typhoon Bavi, which made landfall as a category one storm after weakening from a super typhoon, causing injuries in Japan and evacuations in Taiwan.
