Trump Holds Iran to Deadline

President Trump reiterated his threats against Iran on Monday, warning in a White House speech of strikes on bridges and power plants if Tehran doesn't reopen the Strait of Hormuz by tonight’s 8 p.m. ET deadline.

Iran rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal on Monday, demanding a permanent end to hostilities with guarantees against future attacks instead. Tehran communicated its response through Pakistani mediators.

Meanwhile, Israel said it killed two senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard figures: intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi and Quds Force undercover unit leader Asghar Bakeri.

Trump also praised the weekend rescue of a U.S. weapons system officer downed inside Iran, calling the complex operation, involving over 150 aircraft and 200 munitions, an "amazing show of bravery." He said military members would join him at the White House.

Michigan Beats UConn for National Title

Michigan basketball won its second national championship last night, beating UConn 69-63 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis to end a 37-year title drought. It's a coronation moment for Wolverines head coach Dusty May, who turned the program into a title champion just two years into his tenure.

It was Michigan's defense that carried them to the title. The Wolverines held UConn to 63 points, the Huskies' second-lowest scoring output of the entire tournament.

When UConn tried to slow the game to a grind, Michigan's physicality—combined with a cool 19 points by Most Outstanding Player Elliot Cadeau—ultimately won out, but not before a tense final minute where UConn pulled to within four points.

Michigan had been 0-4 in title games since its last championship in 1989, a drought that included two Fab Five runner-up finishes and losses in 2013 and 2018. Last night, Dusty May etched his name alongside the all-time greats in Ann Arbor.

Ranking: America's Tallest Buildings

A new ranking of the 20 tallest buildings in America shows New York and Chicago still dominate the skyline, claiming 14 of the top 20 spots between them.

One World Trade Center holds the top spot at 1,776 feet, followed by Central Park Tower at 1,550, which is also the tallest residential building in the world. The newest entry, JPMorgan Chase's $3 billion headquarters at 270 Park Avenue, opened last year and cracked the top 10 at 1,388 feet.

Only three buildings outside those two cities made the list: Philadelphia's Comcast Technology Center, the Wilshire Grand Center in Los Angeles, and San Francisco's Salesforce Tower.

The 95-year-old Empire State Building still ranks 10th. See the full list here.
