One call so western North Carolina can make thousands | North Carolina
SUMMARY: North Carolina state Senator Danny Britt has reached out to former President Donald Trump for assistance in restoring communications affected by Hurricane Helene. In response, Trump contacted Elon Musk, who committed “as many Starlink devices as needed” to aid the state’s recovery. Starlink, a subsidiary of SpaceX, provides satellite broadband internet. Following the hurricane’s impact, multiple communication companies face damage to cell towers and fiber cables, while federal aid is progressing slowly. Britt’s district, hit hard by past hurricanes, continues to recover. Helene caused significant destruction, leading to road closures and over 150 deaths across the Southeast.

North Carolina Army veteran says Iran attack doesn't surprise him
SUMMARY: An Army veteran expressed no surprise at the recent missile attack by Iran on Israel, noting its implications for North Carolina soldiers and their families. Approximately 200 missiles were launched in retaliation, leading the Pentagon to strategize with Israel for defense. John Hart, a veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division, emphasized that soldiers are always ready for deployment. White House officials reported significant escalation by Iran, and while U.S. Naval assets are positioned in the Gulf and Mediterranean, the possibility of a strategic response involving various military capabilities remains open, with no American service members injured in the attack.
Iran launched at least 180 missiles into Israel on Tuesday, the latest in a series of escalating attacks in a yearslong conflict between Israel and Iran and its Arab allies that threatens to push the Middle East closer toward a regionwide war.
