Federal authorities have warned California law enforcement agencies that the state could be a\u00a0potential target of a drone attack\u00a0tied to the escalating war between Iran, the U.S. and Israel \u2014 though officials stress there is no confirmed or imminent threat<\/a>.
Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers\u00a0reviewed startling financial estimates<\/a>\u00a0from the Pentagon as the Iran war spiraled amid attacks on three ships in the pivotal Strait of Hormuz. According to Pentagon estimates reviewed by lawmakers, the first six days of war in Iran cost U.S. taxpayers at least $11.3 billion<\/a>. Meanwhile,\u00a0U.S. average gas prices<\/a>\u00a0hit $3.59 a gallon on Wednesday.
More on Iran:<\/strong> This video shows<\/a> an apparent U.S.-made missile strike near an Iran girls’ school.
Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympics<\/span><\/strong>
Wheelchair curling makes its fifth appearance<\/a> at the 2026 Paralympic Games in Milano-Cortina. Wheelchair curlers use a delivery stick to propel the smooth, 42-pound granite stone across the ice<\/a>. Unlike able-bodied curling, athletes do not slide on the ice. Instead, the wheelchair remains stationary during the throw.

She brushed it off. A friend encouraged her to see the specialist, who quickly ordered a colonoscopy. The results? A malignant tumor in her rectum<\/a>.
