SUMMARY: Israel launched a major airstrike on Iran’s nuclear and military sites, killing top generals and scientists, aiming to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Iran retaliated with dozens of ballistic missiles targeting Israel’s major cities, causing casualties and damage. The conflict escalated regional tensions, with global calls for de-escalation. Israel used smuggled drones and precision strikes to hit key facilities, notably Iran’s Natanz nuclear site. Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei vowed revenge. The U.S. supported Israeli defense efforts while warning against targeting American interests.

SUMMARY: Convicted priest Patrick Watney, serving less than two years of a five-year sentence for child molestation, requested early parole citing rehabilitation. During the hearing, he admitted to being sexually attracted to Rex Perrett, a then-16-year-old student he had sent persistent, inappropriate texts. Perrett, who first exposed Watney’s abuse, said hearing this admission made him feel nauseous and enraged. Despite complaints from Perrett’s mother and an archdiocese investigation, Watney remained in ministry for eight more months before confessing to molesting another boy. The parole board unanimously denied his release. Recently, Louisiana passed a law criminalizing grooming, influenced by victims’ advocacy and lawmakers.

Perrette recounted how he was 16 and attending Pope John Paul II high school in Slidell when Wattigny began texting him privately in about the fall of 2019.
