What to know about the Iran war today:
o After President Trump rejected Iran's response to the latest U.S. peace proposal and said the ceasefire is "on life support," the speaker of Iran's parliament said the Islamic Republic's military is ready to "teach a lesson" to any aggressor.

o U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said Tuesday that Israel sent anti-missile batteries and personnel to the UAE to help protect the country from Iranian attacks, underlying a growing defense relationship between the two Middle Eastern countries bolstered by the Iran war.

A move by the Trump administration to suspend the federal gasoline tax would offer only modest relief to U.S. drivers socked by soaring fuel costs, according to tax and energy experts.

Americans face the highest prices at the pump since 2022, with a gallon of gas surging roughly $1.54 since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran in late February. On Monday, drivers nationwide paid an average of $4.52 a gallon, according to AAA.

"I think it's a great idea," President Trump told CBS News White House correspondent Nancy Cordes on Monday of the plan to temporarily lift the gas tax. "Yup, we're going to take off the gas tax for a period of time, and when gas goes down, we'll let it phase back in,"

On the bright side, with two weekends of the season left, Tottenham increased their lead in the head-to-head battle to avoid the Championship. They played in a way that was an identifiable approximation of what their manager might look to build over the five-year contract that was the price of him taking the helm of a ship that was rapidly taking on water. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was even graced by James Maddison's presence at last.

In totality, this has been a fine 30 or so hours for Tottenham. Barring some gigantic wins for West Ham to close out the season, four points will be enough to ensure that Premier League football is being played at this ground in 2026-27. Given how perilous this all looked even a...More

A Texas couple whose son died of an overdose in 2025 after using OpenAI's ChatGPT tool to get information about drugs sued the technology company on Tuesday, blaming the AI platform for his death.

Leila Turner-Scott and her husband, Angus Scott, are seeking to hold OpenAI and its creators accountable after their son, Sam Nelson, who was 19 when he died, turned to ChatGPT to advise him on using drugs. The AI platform provided advice it was not qualified to dispense, they alleged in the lawsuit, claiming that Sam would still be alive if not for ChatGPT's flawed programming.

Specifically, the platform advised the couple's son that it was safe to take kratom, a supplement used in drinks, pills and other products, in combination with Xanax, a widely used anti-anxiety medication, according to the suit, filed in California state court.

Turner-Scott told CBS News in an...More

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine are appearing Tuesday before the House and Senate subcommittees that oversee Pentagon budget requests as the Trump administration is seeking $1.5 trillion amid the Iran war.

Hegseth and Caine will appear in back-to-back hearings before the House and Senate Appropriations subcommittees that oversee defense spending. The $1.5 trillion fiscal year 2027 budget proposal, which serves as a starting point for negotiations with Congress over annual spending, would mark a 42% increase in defense spending from 2026 levels.

In an opening statement, Hegseth said the $1.5 trillion request is "admittedly a historic budget," but he added that it is a "fiscally responsible budget."

"The president's budget request reflects the urgency of the moment," Hegseth said.
