Iran retaliated for Israel's nuclear facility strikes with missile barrages throughout the night, killing three Israelis and prompting Israel's defense minister to warn "Tehran will burn" if attacks continued. The escalation overshadowed Trump's planned military parade celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday.
The domestic crisis exploded by afternoon when Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated at their home, with State Senator John Hoffman wounded in a second attack. The gunman, identified as Vance Luther Boelter, had impersonated a police officer and possessed "No Kings" flyers in his vehicle along with a manifesto targeting dozens of Democratic officials including Governor Tim Walz.
As Trump's military parade proceeded with tanks and flyovers despite nationwide "No Kings" protests, authorities revealed Boelter was a former Walz appointee who operated a security company. The assassination occurred days after Hortman had voted with Republicans on immigration legislation, connecting the violence to the broader political tensions that had been building since the California National Guard deployment.
