What happened
A man started a wildfire at a popular wilderness area near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, yesterday afternoon then fired a rifle at first responders when they arrived to put out the flames, killing two firefighters, officials said. A third firefighter was "fighting for his life" after undergoing surgery, Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said during a news conference last night. The suspected lone gunman was found dead in the Canfield Mountain recreation area with a firearm nearby, Norris said. 

Who said what
"We do believe that the suspect started the fire, and we do believe that it was an ambush and it was intentional," Norris said. "These firefighters did not have a chance." The unidentified suspect's body was found hours after the attack started when investigators followed the signal from a cellphone that had remained stationary. Norris said it was unclear if he died by suicide. At an earlier press conference, the sheriff had said he hoped "somebody has a clear shot and is able to neutralize" the threat because the "sniper" was showing no "evidence of wanting to surrender."

The "bodies of the slain firefighters arrived in the nearby city of Spokane, Washington," yesterday evening, "escorted by a procession of fire and law enforcement vehicles," The Associated Press said. The "line-of-duty slayings rocked a region marked by a history of law enforcement deaths," said Spokane's The Spokesman-Review.

What next?
Law enforcement lifted a shelter-in-place order last night, but the still-burning fire was an "unnerving sight" for locals, The New York Times said, "because recent dry conditions have increased the wildfire danger in northern Idaho."

What happened
The chief United Nations nuclear inspector, Rafael Grossi (pictured above), told CBS News yesterday that Iran could be enriching uranium again in a "matter of months." President Donald Trump, meanwhile, repeated on Fox News his initial assertion that Tehran's nuclear program was "obliterated like nobody's ever seen before," arguing that the bunker-buster bomb strikes he had ordered a week earlier "meant the end to their nuclear ambitions, at least for a period of time."

Who said what
Trump has been "furious about news coverage that has deviated from his claims about the bombing mission," especially reporting on a Defense Intelligence Agency initial damage verdict similar to Grossi's, The Washington Post said. In a new piece of "preliminary information" undercutting Trump's narrative, an intercepted communication recorded Iranian officials privately wondering why the U.S. attack was "not as destructive and extensive as they had anticipated," four U.S. officials familiar with the classified intelligence told the Post. 

Former U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan, who helped negotiate the 2015 Iran nuclear deal Trump scrapped, said yesterday that a new deal was critical. He said it was likely Iran still retained "some stockpiles of enriched uranium" and centrifuges and called for a "full battle-damage" assessment "unfiltered from political interference."

What next?
Western governments are "scrambling to determine what's become" of Iran's supply of enriched uranium, Reuters said. Trump told Fox News he believed it was destroyed in the strike, while Grossi confirmed that Iran told his International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors it had planned to safeguard some of its nuclear materials, presumably including highly enriched uranium, before the U.S. attack.
