U.S. forces and Iran have resumed military engagements. This development follows an attack Iran launched yesterday against U.S. personnel in the Middle East. Separately, a Senate committee plans to question Dr. Anthony Fauci regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Fauci previously served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He will provide testimony to the committee regarding various aspects of the pandemic response.
