Office of the Iranian Supreme Leader
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned that the U.S. “will definitely pay a heavy price” should it attack Iran again. The comments on Thursday came in the wake of an attack on Sunday in which American forces hit three Iranian nuclear facilities with bunker-buster bombs and cruise missiles. Iran retaliated on Monday with a missile attack on a U.S. base in nearby Qatar. But it caused no casualties.

The Latest at WAMC
WAMC Northeast Public Radio is excited to announce the official launch of On the Road, a new programming initiative that brings live public radio events — including interviews, conversations, musical performances, and cultural programming — directly to communities throughout the listening region.
The White House issued an Executive Order directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to halt all direct and indirect funding to NPR and PBS. In essence, this puts at risk WAMC’s ability to deliver national and international programming—Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and the trusted newscasts our listeners rely on every day.
