Tonight, the breaking news, the U.S. attack on Iran.

And now tonight, this new intelligence report just in, and the reality check.

 

Was the damage as extensive as President Trump has said?

Also tonight, the life-threatening heat.

 

New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, all breaking records.

And authorities are now investigating a syringe attack at music festivals. Nearly 150 people say they were pricked by needles.

 

syringe [səˈrɪndʒ] n. 注射器；皮下注射器

prick [prɪk] v. 刺，戳

 

First tonight, President Trump insisting Iran's nuclear facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.

 

obliterate [əˋblɪtə͵ret] v. 消灭

 

But tonight here, sources say a new preliminary Pentagon report finds that the damage was limited.

Saying Iran's nuclear program was only set back a few months.

 

And the moment President Trump lashed out today, using an expletive when talking about Israel and Iran and this fragile ceasefire.

 

lash out 猛烈抨击

expletive [ˋɛksplɪtɪv] n. 感叹语；咒骂语

 

The life-threatening heat, more than 150 million Americans on alert from Texas to New York to Maine.

New York City breaking a record, Philadelphia all the way up to New England, breaking records too.

 

People overcome at outdoor graduations.

Major power outages tonight, an Amtrak train losing power.

 

And what this heat does to the body over several days.

Tonight, the dramatic move in the Sean Combs trial.

 

The prosecution resting its case after 34 witnesses.

 

rest [rɛst] v.【律】自动停止对（案件等）提出证据（或辩论）

 

The defense then resting its case, calling no witnesses at all.

Aaron Katersky standing by with the message Sean Combs attorneys are trying to send to that jury.

 

Tonight, the violent Border Patrol detention, masked border agents and an undocumented immigrant at his landscaping job.

 

landscaping [ˋlændskepɪŋ] n. 景观美化

 

His three sons are all U.S. Marines.

The needle attacks 145 people, telling authorities they were pricked by needles.

 

Authorities in France now investigating a series of possible syringe attacks.

The victims are now being tested tonight.

 

Here in the U.S., the frightening helicopter crash landing, suddenly flipping over as restaurant patrons looked on.

And what you'll see in the sky tonight across 14 states, the spectacular sight.

 

And we remember a teen idol tonight, the singer and TV star, and you'll definitely know his music.

From ABC News World Headquarters in New York, this is World News Tonight with David Muir.

 

02:12 Sources: Early intelligence shows Iran nuclear sites not completely destroyed by U.S. strikes

 

Good evening, and it's great to have you with us here on a very busy Tuesday night.

 

And we begin tonight with the breaking news after the major U.S. strikes on Iran. Tonight here, the new classified intelligence report, a preliminary report on what could be a reality check now on the U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities.

 

President Trump had declared they were completely and totally obliterated.

But tonight, sources say this new preliminary Pentagon report finds the damage was limited, saying Iran's nuclear program was only set back a few months.

 

That daring military mission, B-2 bombers setting off from Missouri, deploying those 30,000-pound bombs for the first time on the battlefield. The satellite images showing the target sites, signs of damaged holes in the ground.

 

But it remains unclear tonight just how much and what kind of damage they did below. Sources say the preliminary report also indicates much of Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed because it was likely moved before the U.S. attack.

 

stockpile [ˋstɑk͵paɪl] n.（应急用的）储备物资（如原料，武器等）

 

And tonight here, the moment President Trump lashed out today using an expletive when talking to reporters on the White House lawn about Israel and Iran and this fragile ceasefire.

 

ABC's chief White House correspondent, Mary Bruce, leading us off tonight.

 

President Trump insists the U.S. strikes on Iran obliterated its nuclear program. But tonight, sources tell us a preliminary Pentagon report indicates at least two of the Iranian nuclear facilities targeted were not completely destroyed, and that Iran's program was only set back a few months.

 

You don't believe that Iran can rebuild its nuclear program?

Iran will never rebuild its nuclear.

 

From there, absolutely not.

That place is under rocks.

 

That place is demolished.

But sources say the preliminary report from the Defense Intelligence Agency and U.S. Central Command indicates much of Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed because it was moved before the U.S. struck.

 

The International Atomic Energy Agency has warned nearly 900 pounds of near-weapons-grade uranium is unaccounted for.

 

Sources tell us the Pentagon's early intelligence indicates Iran's centrifuges also remain intact. And though the bombing sealed off the entrances to two of the nation's nuclear facilities, they did not destroy their underground structures. Tonight, the White House pushing back.

 

centrifuge [ˋsɛntrə͵fjudʒ] n. 离心机

push back 反驳

 

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth saying, based on everything we have seen, and I've seen it all, our bombing campaign obliterated Iran's ability to create nuclear weapons.

 

It comes amid a fragile truce between Iran and Israel, a ceasefire announced by Trump last night. But in the hours before it went into effect, Iran and Israel continuing to strike at each other.

 

truce [trus] n. 停战；休战

 

Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before. The biggest load that we've seen. I'm not happy with Israel.

 

You know, when I say, OK, now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them. So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iran either.

 

Trump clearly furious, using an expletive.

We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what they're doing.

 

Do you understand that?

Soon after, the president speaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

 

And tonight, both Israel and Iran committing to the ceasefire, which for now appears to be holding.

So let's bring in Mary Bruce. She's live tonight from the Netherlands, where President Trump is attending the NATO summit now.

 

And Mary, the president has insisted that the U.S. strikes obliterated Iran's nuclear program. Obviously, this new early intelligence indicates something a bit different here.

 

It does, David.

President Trump insists that the U.S. strikes against Iran obliterated and completely destroyed all nuclear facilities and capability.

 

But sources say this early intelligence indicates that's not the case and that Iran's nuclear program was only set back by a few months. Now again, David, this is only preliminary intelligence.

 

We're still waiting on the final report.

David.

 

Mary Bruce traveling with the president.

Mary, thank you.

 

06:20 Netanyahu echoes Trump claiming Iran’s nuke threat destroyed

 

Let's get right to our chief foreign correspondent, Ian Pannell, live in Tel Aviv again tonight.

One more question on this, Ian.

 

When you hear about this preliminary report that the U.S. strikes might have set back Iran's nuclear program only by about a few months here, what does that mean for the stability or lack thereof across the region moving forward?

 

lack thereof: the absence or shortage of something that was previously mentioned. (in this sentence it mean “the absence of stability”)

thereof [ðɛrˋɑv] adv. 关于那

 

Well, David, I don't think it's just the Pentagon.

We've got two sources telling ABC News it's too early to declare that the U.S. and Israeli missions were successful.

 

Remember those gigantic holes we saw in the mountain at the Fordow site?

Well, the source is saying they still don't know how much enriched uranium may be moved from there in advance or how many centrifuges in the country could still start up again.

 

And one source calling the outcome at Fordow really not good.

So despite Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu backing Trump, saying that the mission at Fordow destroyed the site, we absolutely could find ourselves right back where we started with more instability in the region and potentially another round of conflict.

 

David.

All, of course, preliminary, but we'll continue to follow these damage assessments.

 

Ian, thanks to you as well.

 

07:23 Record-breaking heat wave puts over 150 million in dangerous conditions

 

Back here in the U.S. tonight and to the other major news this Tuesday night, the life-threatening heat.

More than 150 million Americans on alert from Texas to New York, all the way up to Maine.

 

Tonight, records have been broken across the East, 101 in Philadelphia, 102 in Boston, New York City reaching 99.

The hottest temperatures in more than a decade.

 

And factor in the humidity, you don't need me to tell you, it feels well above 100.

Tonight, the power outages, the Amtrak train halted, and what this does to the body over several days of heat when it doesn't cool down at night.

 

Last night, the low temperature in New York City was 81.

So Ginger Zeeis here.

 

When does this break?

And Janai Norman tonight with the warnings over this life-threatening heat.

 

Tonight, dangerous searing heat for millions.

 

searing [ˋsɪrɪŋ] adj. 烧灼的；灼痛的；剧烈的

 

Power grids strained to the max.

Anyone working outside is risking their life.

 

Near Boston, 105 degree heat index in Norfolk.

Two firefighters battling a blaze rushed to the hospital for heat exhaustion.

 

heat exhaustion 热衰竭; 轻度中暑

 

FDNY Manhattan Borough Commander Brian Gorman telling me the protective gear that keeps firefighters safe also makes them swelter.

 

The heat affects their decision-making ability, could affect the muscle capacity as you're operating on a fire.

So it's very difficult, very challenging.

 

Across the Philadelphia area, where they hit the century mark.

We're out here digging trenches.

 

Look at me, I'm soaked.

Workers like Denny Sharp and Roy Jones Jr. just trying to survive.

 

What do you tell yourself?

Get through today and get home.

 

Doctors say it's crucial for workers to look out for each other.

My advice to them is frequent cooling, but also to work in a buddy system so that you can monitor each other for signs of heat illness.

 

In New York City, as the mercury hit a record-breaking 99 degrees, fans cranking at voting stations, thousands braving the heat to vote in the race for mayor, including candidate and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

 

crank [kræŋk] v. 用曲柄启动（或旋转）

 

Yeah, it's a little warm, but today is the day.

In Queens, Con Edison handing out dry ice to thousands of elderly customers who lost power Monday.

 

Officials begging all city residents to conserve energy.

And David, this is peak heat right now in the northeast and still dangerously hot again tomorrow.

 

Temperatures expected to soar into the 90s for a third straight day, officially making it a heat wave, David.

Second night in a row, we put you up on the roof here at ABC, and we sure do appreciate it, Janai.

 

Come back inside. Let's get right to Chief Meteorologist Ginger Zee back with us tonight as well.

Ginger, I know this is officially a heat wave tomorrow across much of the nation.

 

Of course, the millions watching here tonight just want to know, Ginger, when does the heat break?

The heat breaks in about 24 to 36 hours, depending on your location.

 

We will get to that, but let's start with how impressive this is, because this is not just daily record heat.

This is all-time June record heat, meaning like Boston, Massachusetts at 102 today has never, in at least the time that records have been taken back to 1872, seen this type of heat in the month of June.

 

Manchester, New Hampshire did it, Providence, Rhode Island, and Newark, New Jersey tied at 103.

You mentioned that core body temperature and why heat is cumulative, and that can have a big impact on health.

 

When you walk out the door for a third morning in a row, and it feels like the 90s already, like it will in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., that's a problem.

 

That cold front approaches, but ahead of it, we're going to do one more afternoon with heat indices above 100 from Louisville and Memphis over to Philadelphia.

 

Now, by Thursday and Friday, if you're in the Northeast or you're in Chicago, you have a brief reprieve, but look what happens.

 

reprieve [rɪˋpriv] n. 暂缓；暂免

 

In Chicago, the temperature goes back into the 90s.

The mid-Atlantic, David, unfortunately, getting toward that hottest time of year, and they're not going to get a whole lot of relief.

 

All right.

We're going to enjoy the 70s, though, while they're here for a few minutes.

 

Ginger Zee with us tonight.

Ginger, thank you.

 

11:05 Sean Combs trial prosecution and defense rest without testimony from "Diddy"

 

In the meantime, we turn next tonight to the dramatic move in the Sean Combs trial.

Today, the prosecution resting its case after 34 witnesses, and then just a short time later, the defense resting its case, calling no witnesses at all.

 

Tonight, ABC's Aaron Katersky with the message Sean Combs attorneys are trying to send to the jury.

Tonight, the criminal case against Sean Combs is nearing an end, and the man who made a living with lyrics said nothing in his own defense.

 

Is it your decision not to testify in this case, Judge Arun Subramanian asked, and Combs responded, that is solely my decision.

 

Combs also complimenting the judge, I want to tell you, thank you, you're doing an excellent job.

 

compliment [ˋkɑmpləmənt] v. 赞美；恭维

 

Defense attorneys called no witnesses and rested their case today, moments after prosecutors rested theirs.

For more than six weeks, jurors heard from 34 witnesses, including ex-girlfriends, former employees, male escorts, and rapper Kid Cudi.

 

They watched nearly an hour of explicit video showing Cassie Ventura and a woman known by the pseudonym Jane having sex with male prostitutes.

 

explicit [ɪkˋsplɪsɪt] adj. 详尽的；清楚的；明确的

 

The prosecution is seeking to prove that the music mogul was running a criminal enterprise that trafficked these women.

He denies it. The defense argued the sex was consensual, and asked for an acquittal, telling the judge the government has failed to meet its burden.

 

consensual [kənˋsɛnsjʊəl] adj.【律】在双方同意下成立的

acquittal [əˋkwɪt!] n. 宣告无罪，无罪开释

burden [ˋbɝdn] n. 沉重的责任; duty, obligation, or responsibility

 

All right, let's bring in Aaron again tonight, covering this trial from the start.

Tonight, the defense closing their, no testimony from Sean Combs.

 

But as you point out, Aaron, perhaps more notable, no witnesses at all for the defense.

So what kind of message are they trying to send?

 

What's the strategy here?

It could be a sign of confidence, David.

 

The jury has heard weeks of often graphic testimony about sex and violence, but defense attorneys are seemingly confident tonight they've raised enough doubt during cross-examinations about whether Combs trafficked women who stayed with him for years.

 

Jury deliberations could begin as soon as late Friday, David.

Aaron Katersky on the case again tonight.

 

Thank you.

 

12:52 Immigration arrest caught on camera shows violence from masked ICE agents

 

We turn tonight to the dramatic images after a violent border patrol detention, masked border agents, and an undocumented immigrant at his landscaping job.

 

His three sons are all U.S. Marines.

Here's Trevor Ault.

 

Tonight, a controversial violent border patrol detention caught on camera in California.

Masked agents holding down 48-year-old Narcisco Barranco in the Santa Ana Street, repeatedly punching him as he's on the ground.

 

Barranco heard screaming and crying, resisting as they take him into a van.

Barranco is the father of three U.S. Marines. Approached while working a landscaping job, his son Alejandro, a Marine veteran, now calling his dad's detention frustrating and inhumane.

 

inhumane [͵ɪnhjuˋmen] adj. 不近人情的；不人道的

 

I was really mad, and then I was really sad.

I just wish I could have been there to help him.

 

The Department of Homeland Security says the agents were defending themselves, claiming Barranco assaulted those officers with a weed whacker, swinging it at an agent's face.

 

weed whacker 手持式除草机

 

The video posted by the agency appears to show him trying to avoid detention, running through the street with that weed whacker as he's sprayed by the agents, even attempting to open a car door before being tackled.

 

From what I'm thinking is he saw these individuals come up with masks, civilian clothes with guns out.

I'm pretty sure he got scared.

 

In a statement, DHS says the agents took appropriate action and followed their training to use the minimum amount of force necessary to resolve the situation.

 

It's another example of the Trump administration's sweeping deportation policy.

Earlier this month, ICE agents seen chasing farm workers through strawberry fields in Southern California.

 

David Barranco is being held in ICE custody here in Los Angeles. These types of aggressive detentions have sparked protests but the Trump administration is vowing to continue to ramp up its deportation efforts.

 

David, Trevor Ault reporting tonight.

Trevor, thank you.

 

14:45 Accused co-conspirator in fertility clinic bombing found dead in prison

 

Now to the attack on an IVF clinic at Palm Springs tonight.

 

IVF 体外人工受精(In vitro fertilization)

 

The accused co-conspirator of that fertility clinic bombing has been found dead in prison.

Authorities discovering Daniel Park unresponsive today at the detention center in Los Angeles.

 

Details about his death have not been released.

Park was accused of aiding the main suspect, Guy Bartkus, who created an ammonium nitrate car bomb that was detonated outside that clinic last month.

 

Bartkus died when authorities say he set off that blast.

 

15:09 NTSB report blames Boeing, FAA for cause of Alaska Airlines door plug blowout in 2024

 

We turn now to the door that came off that Alaska Airlines flight in midair.

Tonight, the NTSB issuing its final report on that terrifying flight.

 

Confirming the bolt, securing the door plug were removed during a repair and not replaced.

 

bolt [bolt] n. 螺栓

plug [plʌg] n. 塞子，栓

 

Investigators finding multiple systemic failures, including poor manufacturing practices at Boeing and FAAinspections that failed to catch them.

 

Tonight, Boeing responding, saying they will review the report and, quote, continue to implement improvements.

When we come back in the broadcast, the syringe attack, nearly 150 people now reporting they were pricked with needles.

Those victims are now being tested.

 

Was there anything in those needles, the disturbing details?

Later tonight here, we remember a teen idol.

 

You'll know his music.

And look at these images tonight, a helicopter crashing right next to a busy restaurant, patrons sitting right there.

 

We do have news tonight on those who were on board in just a moment here.

 

15:59 14 suspects arrested in connection to syringe attack at music festival in France

 

Tonight in France, there are calls for vigilance after a syringe attack at a nationwide music festival, concerts being held at multiple locations across the country.

 

vigilance [ˋvɪdʒələns] n. 警戒；警觉；警惕

 

Authorities say at least 145 people now, mostly women and girls, telling authorities they were jabbed by needles.

 

jab [dʒæb] v. 刺，戳

 

Some reported bruises and feeling dizzy, police arresting 14 suspects.

Victims are now being tested tonight to see if they were injected with any substances.

 

Authorities have not discussed what might have been in those needles.

 

16:25 Helicopter flips over while attempting to land outside Michigan restaurant

 

Meantime, back here in the U.S. tonight, a terrifying helicopter crash-landing in Clay Township, Michigan.

 

crash-land [͵kræʃˋlænd] v.【空】摔机着陆

 

That's in the southeastern part of the state.

People watching from a nearby restaurant as the helicopter came in for a landing.

 

Suddenly, the chopper tilts right there, sending the rotor blades right into the dirt.

Bystanders rushing to the site to help the pilot and passengers.

 

The four people inside, remarkably, all escaped uninjured.

And that was good news.

 

17:04 Oklahoma boy seriously burned after fiery blast at children’s museum

 

When we come back here tonight, a boy suffering severe burns in a blast at a children's museum today rushed to the hospital.

 

Also ahead, we remember that teen idol and his music.

And what you might see in the skies tonight, 14 states.

 

Back in a moment.

To the index of other news tonight, in Oklahoma City, a four-year-old boy suffered serious burns in a blast at a children's museum, the Jasmine Moran Children's Museum.

 

The boy participating in an indoor s'mores activity when fire erupted.

 

s'more [smɔr] n.（全麦薄脆饼干的）棉花糖巧克力夹心

 

Witnesses say a bottle of hand sanitizer near an open flame might have caused that blast.

He was airlifted to the hospital.

 

The boy's family tonight saying he sustained burns to 15 percent of his body.

 

17:27 Northern lights could be visible in as many as 14 states in the U.S.

 

There will be a beautiful sight tonight across 14 states, the Northern Lights.

People in Alaska, of course, will have the best view of the auroras, green, blue and purple hues.

 

The spectacle all due to a geomagnetic storm, best seen across the northernmost states tonight.

Send us your pictures.

 

17:48 Remembering Bobby Sherman, teen idol of the '60s and '70s, who died at age 81

 

When we come back tonight, the teen idol, his string of hits you'll know, and his public service later in life.

Finally tonight, remembering Bobby Sherman.

 

Bobby Sherman was a 1960s teen idol, a star who turned to public service later in life.

His 1969 top ten hit, Little Woman, reached number three on the charts.

 

A string of hits followed, La La La, If I Had You.

And Julie, Do You Love Me?

 

He was an actor on the ABC show, Here Come the Brides, before turning to music.

Dick Clark asking him about the lessons fame and music taught him about life.

 

(I was probably) overwhelmed by the power of television, that you're so immediately accepted by so many families when they invite you into their living rooms every night.

 

Decades later, he would turn to public service, volunteering with the LAPD and working as a technical reserve police officer and a reserve deputy sheriff for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

 

Earlier this year, Bobby Sherman revealing he'd been diagnosed with stage four kidney cancer.

Tonight, his wife, Bridget, along with actor and musician John Stamos, who is an ambassador for Sherman's charity, announcing his passing.

 

His wife saying, Bobby left this world holding my hand, just as he held up our life with love, courage and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage.

 

And John Stamos saying, from one ex-teen idol to another, rest in peace, Bobby Sherman.

Bobby Sherman was 81.

 

Celebrating Bobby Sherman tonight.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good night.
