US and Iran Trade Fire; Secret Service Shoots Man Near White House

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) The fragile US-Iran ceasefire held Tuesday morning after a day of clashes involving shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and missile attacks against the United Arab Emirates. The violence erupted after US President Donald Trump announced “Project Freedom,” which he described as a humanitarian effort to guide neutral ships stranded in the Gulf through Hormuz. Iran warned all ships against trying to get through Hormuz without its permission and hit a South Korean bulk carrier and attacked an empty tanker belonging to the UAE’s state oil firm.
2) A man was shot by Secret Service officers near the White House Monday afternoon after agents spotted him carrying a concealed firearm and he opened fire, according to the agency’s deputy director. The suspect ran, drew a weapon and shot at the officers, who returned fire, striking him. He was taken to an area hospital.
3) Apple held exploratory discussions with Intel and Samsung about producing main processors for its devices in the US, as a secondary option beyond Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. The discussions with Intel and Samsung are preliminary and have not resulted in any orders, with Apple having concerns about using non-TSMC technology. Apple is considering additional suppliers due to supply-chain disruptions, including recent shortages driven by the build-out of AI data centers and higher demand for Macs, with CEO Tim Cook saying the company has less flexibility in the supply chain than normal.
