Trump Calls for Regime Change in Iran, FBI Releases Details in Missing Persons Case
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a Friday statement, former President Donald Trump expressed his belief that a change in power in Iran would be "the best thing that could happen," as the U.S. administration considers potential military action against Tehran. Simultaneously, the FBI released new details regarding a suspect in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, and a Virginia court cleared the way for a special election regarding congressional redistricting.
Trump's comments came after a visit with troops at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, and following confirmation that a second aircraft carrier group was being deployed to the Mideast, according to Fortune. He stated, "It seems like that would be the best thing that could happen," when asked about the possibility of ousting the Islamic clerical rule in Iran. He further added, "For 47 years, they've been talking and talking and talking."
In other news, the FBI released a description of a suspect in the Nancy Guthrie case. The individual, caught on surveillance video at Guthrie's house the morning of her disappearance, is described as being between 5-foot-9-inches and 5-foot-10-inches tall, of average build, and carrying a black, 25-liter Ozark Trail backpack, as reported by NPR News. The FBI hopes this updated description will help focus the public tips they are receiving.
Also, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled on Friday to allow a special election on April 21, where voters will be asked to approve congressional redistricting before the November elections. This decision is a boost for Democrats' efforts to counter Republican-led redistricting, according to NPR News.
In unrelated scientific news, a study published in Nature News revealed that parasitic wasps utilize a tamed virus to castrate caterpillar hosts. The virus causes cells in the larvae's testes to die.
