The Trump administration says the U.S. and Israel will stop bombing Iran for two weeks as part of a ceasefire agreement<\/a> that includes Iran allowing ships to safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz. International stock markets surged, and oil prices dropped, on the news. Still, some members of Congress are alarmed about Trump’s threats to wipe out the Iranian civilization<\/a> if the country didn’t reopen the strait. More than three dozen congressional Democrats \u2014 including several from Massachusetts<\/a> \u2014 are calling for Trump’s removal from office over the ultimatum.
NPR has the latest updates on the ceasefire (which Israel is arguing does not apply its offensive in Lebanon) here<\/a>. Now, to local news:
Ticket to kick it: <\/strong>MBTA train tickets for the first five World Cup games at Gillette Stadium this June go on sale at 11 a.m. today. Officials are encouraging soccer fans to act fast if they want to secure one of the 20,000 spots in those purple commuter rail train seats. The T is planning<\/a> to run 14 trains a day, express from South Station to Foxborough, for each game at “Boston Stadium<\/a>.” But the agency is also facing criticism over its $80 pricing<\/a> for the roundtrip tickets. Here’s what to know:
In other soccer-related news: <\/strong>The future of White Stadium in Boston’s Franklin Park goes before Massachusetts’ highest court this morning. WBUR’s Eve Zuckoff reports that the state’s Supreme Judicial Court will hear arguments for and against the Emerald Necklace Conservancy’s lawsuit<\/a> to block city’s redevelopment of the stadium with the Boston Legacy, the region’s new NWSL team<\/a>. (A lower court judge has already ruled<\/a> in the city’s favor, but the conservancy appealed to the SJC.)
P.S.\u2014 NASA has released the first photos taken by Artemis II astronauts during their historic flight around the moon \u2014 and they’re pretty spectacular. (If you’re reading this on your phone now’s the time to switch to a bigger screen.) Click here to see their photos<\/a> of an “Earthset,” solar eclipse, moon craters and more.
