Live updates: Mamdani, Cassidy hit Sunday shows; US-Iran ceasefire tested by fresh strikes

The U.S. and Iran have traded attacks this weekend, threatening the two sides’ 60-day ceasefire and negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran on Sunday launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait, two key U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf. Iran’s attacks came after U.S. forces conducted additional strikes against multiple Iranian targets in response to an attack against a Panama-flagged tanker near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran also threatened a “complete halt” in talks to fully end the war if Washington continues its own attacks.

The news comes after Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.), buoyed by President Trump’s endorsement, defeated Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming in the GOP runoff for Sen. Bill Cassidy’s (R-La.) seat on Saturday........
