Family stranded in Israel at start of conflict with Iran is relieved to be back in Chicago
Americans have been caught in the chaos of escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. CBS News Chicago introduced you to one Chicago family's fight to return home from Israel last week. They have now made it back, but they said their emotional and financial toll is still not over. At this time last week, Rachel Albert was stranded in southern Israel along with her husband, her two sons — ages 13 and 15 — and her 80-year-old mother. In an ever-evolving situation, she was ready to spare no expense for safety. But her story is just one way the conflict between Iran and Israel is reaching far beyond the battlefield — to Chicago. "I don't think we realized how much we weren't sleeping, and just how intense everything was until we got home," said Albert. One week ago, Albert's family was filming missiles in the night sky in Israel. They had expected to fill their phones with photos from her son's bar mitzvah trip to Israel, but that celebration gave way to a stressful, chaotic return. The family later crossed from southern Israel into Jordan, found five seats on a chartered plane to Paris, and then finally flew to O'Hare International Airport, arriving back in Chicago late this past Friday. In all, this amounted to more than 40 hours of travel time and tens of thousands of dollars in travel expenses. "You know, money at that point in time, it was like monopoly money," said Albert. "I have over $150,000 right now of just commercial flights that I had booked." Albert said there were few options. "We probably filled out about 30 forms," she said. "I got a lot of emails. I filled out a lot of forms. We were directed to a lot of websites. They all had sort of the same updates." Albert had even fewer answers from the U.S. State Department. "We just, we were frustrated with the lack of options that the government was providing to us," she said, "especially as we were in the Jordanian airport, and there were some European constituents whose embassies had sent planes." On Monday, President Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed on a "Complete and Total" ceasefire, a move he said would end a more than weeklong conflict between the two countries. The ceasefire would start in about six hours, and after 12 hours, the "War will be considered, ENDED," Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social, indicating that the ceasefire would begin at midnight ET. There has been no official word yet from Israel or Iran on a ceasefire. The terms of the apparent ceasefire aren't clear. A senior White House official told CBS News both sides had agreed to a ceasefire, with Israel agreeing as long as there are no further Iranian strikes. The conflict between Israel and Iran began June 13 with Israel launching airstrikes against Iranian nuclear and military targets. The strikes — which killed several top Iranian military officials — prompted Iranian counterattacks on Israel. The U.S. took military action against Iran over the weekend, striking three sites that are believed to be key to Iran's nuclear program. The move sparked fears of a wider war, but Iran's response on Monday was fairly limited. Iran fired more than a dozen missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar, most of which were intercepted, and no injuries were reported, U.S. and Qatari officials said. Multiple people associated with Northwestern University's Doha, Qatar campus had to shelter in place for hours. Texts from Northwestern University in Qatar started hours before the missiles began firing, alerting students to go to their homes. "It was very strong, very strong," said student Yamna Abdi Jama. "It felt very — everything was shaking. The windows were shaking, and the noise just kept coming." Meanwhile in Chicago on Monday, protesters held a rally in Federal Plaza against U.S. and Israeli actions in Iran, and then marched through downtown streets just after President Trump announced the ceasefire agreement. But all this came well after Albert's self-evacuation. "This has been a plan for a long time, you know, with our president and with Prime Minister Netanyahu," Albert said, "and I just wish that they would have thought one step ahead about the people on the ground, the citizens on the ground who would have been impacted." Albert said some, but not all, of the airlines she dealt with confirmed that the money she spent on their flights will be returned, since the airlines canceled those flights during travel restrictions. , and contributed to this report.

Falling wires strand passengers on hot MBTA Commuter Rail train for hours
Passengers on a commuter train on the Franklin Line say their ride home from Boston was a nightmare Monday after getting stuck for an extra two hours on the train. 'It abruptly stopped, all the power went out,' said Christian Dadasis, a passenger on the train. 'There was no AC for like the first hour when we were like at Readville and it was like getting really, really hot and a lot of people were getting angry,' said Melanie Guilderson, a passenger. A few passengers say they lost AC for at least forty minutes just before the Readville Station in Hyde Park. 'There were some people getting upset, a lady took pieces of paper and made paper fans for us which was nice,' said Dadasis. The MBTA posted on social media that the Franklin Line trains were delayed due to a downed overhead Amtrak wire as well as a heat-related speed restriction. Trains on the Providence/Stoughton line and Needham lines were also delayed because of this. 'You could hear the AC went out and then it started getting hotter, but eventually they turned the AC back on and then it was like another hour before we started moving,' said Dadasis. Passengers say it was frustrating to lose AC while the city declared a heat emergency with temperatures soaring into the 90's. Some say they were even more upset with the lack of communication from MBTA officials. 'People were talking about how their families were just like really worried about them and driving all over Boston because they didn't know what was going to happen next,' said Guilderson. Finally after an extra two hours on the train, it made its first stop at Readville station where many chose to get off, even if it wasn't their usual stop. The MBTA says that downed wire was from the Amtrak system, but an Amtrak spokesperson says there was no affect to Amtrak service. Download the FREE Boston 25 News app for breaking news alerts.

Watch These Tesla Levels as Stock Soars Following Robotaxi Service Rollout
Tesla shares jumped 8% on Monday after the EV maker launched its highly anticipated autonomous robotaxi vehicle service on Sunday in Austin, Texas. The stock broke out from the pennant on above-average volume in Monday's trading session, setting the stage for a new leg higher. Investors should watch key overhead areas on Tesla's chart around $365, $430 and $489 while also monitoring an important support level near $ (TSLA) shares surged Monday after the EV maker launched its highly anticipated autonomous robotaxi vehicle service on Sunday in Austin, Texas. While the rollout was limited, CEO Elon Musk has said in past interviews that the company plans to quickly expand to more cities and potentially hundreds of thousands of vehicles by the end of next year. Tesla bulls, such as Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, have pointed out that Tesla's robotaxis and self-driving software have the potential to double the automaker's market capitalization by the end of 2026. Tesla shares jumped more than 8% on Monday to around $349. The stock is still down about 14% since the start of the year, but it's risen more than 60% from its early-April low, boosted in part by Musk's decision to relinquish his role heading the Department of Government Efficiency and spend more time at his companies, including Tesla. Below, we take a closer look at Tesla's chart and use technical analysis to identify key price levels that investors will likely be watching. After a pullback to the 50- and 200-day moving averages, Tesla shares consolidated within a pennant pattern just above the closely watched indicators. More recently, the stock broke out from the pennant on above-average volume in Monday's trading session, setting the stage for a new leg higher. The move also coincided with a strong uptick in the relative strength index, indicating accelerating price momentum. Let's identify three key overhead areas on Tesla's chart to watch if the shares continue to rally and also locate an important support level worth monitoring. The first overhead area to watch sits around $365. This area, just 5% above Monday's closing price, could provide resistance near last month's prominent peak, which also aligns with the February countertrend high and twin peaks that formed on the chart last November. A convincing close above this area could trigger a rally toward $430. The shares may face selling pressure in this location near a series of trading activity situated just below the stock's record high set in mid-December last year. Interestingly, this area also sits in the same neighborhood as a projected upside target that takes Tesla's price action from late April to late May and repositions it from this month's pullback low. Buying above this area could see the shares climb to around $489. This region on the chart would likely attract significant attention near the stock's record high, which may be seen as a suitable location to lock in profits. If Tesla's share price reverses course, it's worth closely monitoring the $285 level. Investors could seek buying opportunities in this area near a horizontal line that links this month's low with a range of corresponding trading activity on the chart stretching back to last November's election-driven breakaway gap.
