The decision to directly involve the U.S. comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that have moved to systematically eradicate the country's air defenses and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities. But U.S. and Israeli officials have said that American stealth bombers and a 30,000-lb. bunker buster bomb they alone can carry offered the best chance of destroying heavily-fortified sites connected to the Iranian nuclear program buried deep underground.

5 years later: Lawmakers continue push for reforms after Daniel Prude homicide
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Local officials announced on Monday that language included in the One House Budget proposal represents the implementation of Daniel's Law programming. Both the Senate and Assembly One House resolutions call for $22 million. Daniel's Law would require mental health professionals to respond to calls for certain types of mental health crises and substance abuse issues, rather than police officers. It's a motion that's been argued against by some law enforcement personnel who said it brings up major safety concerns for these professionals. Daniel Prude's death in 2020 was ruled a homicide and sparked national outcries for police and mental health reforms. He had lost consciousness during a struggle with police during a mental health crisis in Rochester. He died at the hospital a few days later. Sunday marked five years since the March 23, 2020 incident. 'Shaping the future': Monroe County launches new Deaf Equity Council Officials said the fight is far from over, even though there has been some progress, urging advocates to voice their support for the law to be secured in the State's budget this year. The budget is due April 1. With 2025 marking five years since the incident, the Rochester community is hosting several events in his honor. For the rest of this week, online forums will be held to talk about various topics related to his death. The flyer below was shared for those interested: Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
