Event Overview
Iran using ceasefire to recover buried weapons and the record DHS shutdown finally ends: Morning Rundown
Iran is reportedly using the ceasefire to recover buried weapons and rebuild its military capability, according to NBC News and NPR, while NBC News notes the House approved and the Senate-passed bill to fund much of the Department of Homeland Security, ending the 75-day shutdown. NPR also reports the DHS measure excludes funding for ICE and CBP and that the administration plans to continue pressuring Iran via Strait of Hormuz actions. Fox News covers unrelated items, including a WHCA Dinner attack and May Day protests. Where disagreement exists, NBC News attributes that Iran is exploiting the ceasefire for weapons recovery and NBC/NPR confirm DHS funding with exclusions.
