Ships Seized in Strait

The episode discusses Iran's seizure of ships, US military actions, FBI investigations into scientists, and Virginia's new congressional district map.

Iran says it seized two ships in the Strait of Hormuz, while the US boards another Iranian ship. This, as President Trump extends the ceasefire after Iranians were a no-show for peace talks. So, where do negotiations stand? Also on today's show: The FBI is now investigating at least 10 cases of scientists who have died or disappeared in recent years, all of whom had ties to sensitive nuclear and aerospace research ...
