And we. remember a teen idol tonight, the singer. and TV star. And you'll definitely know.

his music. From ABC News world headquarters in New. York, this is World News Tonight with. David Mure. Good evening and it's great. to have you with us here in a very busy. Tuesday night. And we begin tonight with. the breaking news after the major US. strikes on Iran. Tonight here, the new. classified intelligence report, a. preliminary report on what could be a. reality check now on the US attack on. Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities. President Trump had declared they were. completely and totally obliterated. But.

tonight, sources say this new. preliminary Pentagon report finds the. damage was limited, saying Iran's. nuclear program was only set back a few. months. That dairy military mission B2. bombers setting off from Missouri. deploying those 30,000 lb bombs for the. first time on the battlefield. The. satellite images showing the target. sites signs of damaged holes in the. ground, but it remains unclear tonight. just how much and what kind of damage. they did below. Sources say the. preliminary report also indicates much. of Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium.

was not destroyed because it was likely. moved before the US attack. And tonight. here, the moment President Trump lashed. out today using an expletive when. talking to reporters on the White House. lawn about Israel and Iran and this. fragile ceasefire. ABC's chief White. House correspondent Barry Bruce leading. us off tonight. President Trump insists the US strikes. on Iran obliterated its nuclear program. But tonight, sources tell us a. preliminary Pentagon report indicates at.

least two of the Iranian nuclear. facilities targeted were not completely. destroyed and that Iran's program was. only set back a few months. You don't. believe that Iran can rebuild its. nuclear program? No. Iran will never. rebuild its nuclear from there. Absolutely not. That place is under. rock. That place is demolished. But. sources say the preliminary report from. the Defense Intelligence Agency and US. Central Command indicates much of Iran's. stockpile of enriched uranium was not.

destroyed because it was moved before. the US struck. The International Atomic. Energy Agency has warned nearly 900 lb. of near weapons grade uranium is. unaccounted for. Sources tell us the. Pentagon's early intelligence indicates. Iran's centrifuges also remain intact. And though the bombing sealed off the. entrances to two of the nation's nuclear. facilities, they did not destroy their. underground structures. Tonight, the. White House pushing back. Defense. Secretary Pete Hegsth saying, "Based on.

everything we have seen, and I've seen. it all, our bombing campaign obliterated. Iran's ability to create nuclear. weapons." It comes amid a fragile truce. between Iran and Israel. A ceasefire. announced by Trump last night. But in. the hours before it went into effect, Iran and Israel continuing to strike at. each other. Israel, as soon as we made. the deal, they came out and they dropped. a load of bombs the likes of which I've. never seen before. The biggest load that. we've seen, I'm not happy with Israel.

You know, when when I say, "Okay, now. you have 12 hours." You don't go out in. the first hour and just drop everything. you have on them. So, I'm not happy with. them. I'm not happy with Iran either. Trump clearly furious using an. expletive. We basically have two. countries that have been fighting so. long and so hard that they don't know. what they're doing. Do you understand. that? Soon after the president speaking. with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin. Netanyahu. [Applause].

and tonight both Israel and Iran. committing to the ceasefire which for. now appears to be holding. So let's. bring in Mary Bruce. She's live tonight. from the Netherlands where President. Trump is attending the NATO summit now. And Mary, the president has insisted. that the US strikes obliterated Iran's. nuclear program. Obviously, this new. early intelligence indicates something a. bit different here. It does, David. President Trump insists. that the US strikes against Iran. obliterated and completely destroyed all.

nuclear facilities and capability. But. sources say this early intelligence. indicates that's not the case and that. Iran's nuclear program was only set back. by a few months. Now again, David, this. is only preliminary intelligence. We're. still waiting on the final report. David, Mary Bruce, traveling with the. president. Mary, thank you. Let's get. right to our chief foreign. correspondent, Ian Panel, live in Tel. Aviv again tonight. One more question on. this, Ian. When you hear about this. preliminary report that the US strikes. might have set back Iran's nuclear. program only by about a few months here,

what does that mean for the stability or. lack thereof across the region moving. forward? Well, David, I don't think it's just the. Pentagon. We've got two sources telling. ABC News it's too early to declare that. the US and Israeli missions were. successful. Remember those gigantic. holes we saw in the mountain at the four. do site? Well, the source is saying they. still don't know how much enriched. uranium may be moved from there in. advance or how many centrifuges in the. country could still start up again. And. one source calling the outcome at Fordo.

really not good. So despite Israeli. Prime Minister Netanyahu backing Trump, saying that the mission at Foraux. destroyed the site, we absolutely could. find ourselves right back where we. started with more instability in the. region and potentially another round of. conflict. David, all of course. preliminary, but will continue to follow. us, these damage assessments. Ian, thanks to you as well. Back here in the. US tonight into the other major news. this Tuesday night, the life-threatening. heat. More than 150 million Americans on. alert from Texas to New York all the way.

up to Maine. Tonight, records have been. broken across the East. 101 in. Philadelphia, 102 in Boston, New York. City reaching 99. The hottest. temperatures in more than a decade. And. factor in the humidity, you don't need. me to tell you it feels well above 100. Tonight, the power outages. The Amtrak. train halted and what this does to the. body over several days of heat when it. doesn't cool down at night. Last night, the low temperature in New York City was. 81. So, Ginger Z is here. When does this. break? And Jana Norman tonight with the. warnings over this life-threatening.

heat. Tonight, dangerous searing heat. for millions. Power grids strain to the. max. Anyone working outside is risking. their life. Near Boston, 105 degree heat. index in Norfolk. Two firefighters. battling a blaze rushed to the hospital. for heat exhaustion. FDNY Manhattan. Bureau Commander Brian Gorman telling me. the protective gear that keeps. firefighters safe also makes them. swelter. The heat affects their. decision-m ability could affect the uh.

muscle capacity as you're operating at a. fire. So, it's very, very difficult, very challenging. Across the. Philadelphia area where they hit the. century mark, we're out here digging. trenches. Look at me. I'm soaked. workers like Denny Sharp and Roy Jones. Jr. just trying to survive. What do you. tell yourself? Get through the day and. get home. Doctors say it's crucial for. workers to look out for each other. So, my advice to them is frequent cooling, but also to work in a buddy system so. that you can monitor each other for.

signs of heat illness. In New York City, as the Mercury hit a record-breaking 99. degrees, fans cranking at voting. stations, thousands braving the heat to. vote in the race for mayor, including. candidate and former New York Governor. Andrew Cuomo. Yeah, it's a little warm, but today is the day. In Queens, Con. Edison handing out dry ice to thousands. of elderly customers who lost power. Monday. Officials begging all city. residents to conserve energy. And David,

this is peak heat right now in the. Northeast and still dangerously hot. again tomorrow. Temperatures expected to. soar into the 90s for a third straight. day officially making it a heat wave. David, second night in a row. We put you. up on the roof here at ABC and we sure. do appreciate it. Jana, come back. inside. Let's get right to chief. meteorologist Ginger Z back with us. tonight as well. Ginger, I know this is. officially a heat wave tomorrow across. much of the nation. Of course, the. millions watching here tonight just want. to know, Ginger, when does the heat. break? The heat breaks in about 24 to 36 hours.

depending on your location. We will get. to that. But let's start with how. impressive this is because this is not. just daily record heat. This is alltime. June record heat. Meaning like Boston, Massachusetts at 102 today has never and. at least the time that records have been. taken back to 1872 seen this type of. heat in the month of June. Manchester, New Hampshire did it. Pro providence, Rhode Island and Newark, New Jersey tied. at 103. You mentioned that core body. temperature and why heat is cumulative. and that can have a big impact on.

health. When you walk out the door for a. third morning in a row and it feels like. the 90s already like it will in. Philadelphia, Washington DC, that's a. problem. That cold front approaches, but. ahead of it, we're going to do one more. afternoon with heat indices above 100. from Louisville and Memphis over to. Philadelphia. Now, by Thursday and. Friday, if you're in the Northeast or. you're in Chicago, you have a brief. reprieve, but look what happens in. Chicago. The temperature goes back into. the 90s. the Mid-Atlantic, David. Unfortunately, getting toward that. hottest time of year and they're not. going to get a whole lot of relief. All.

right, we're going to enjoy the 70s. though while they're here for a few. minutes. Ginger Z with us tonight. Ginger, thank you. In the meantime, we. turn next tonight to the dramatic move. in the Shawn Combmes trial today. The. prosecution resting its case after 34. witnesses. And then just a short time. later, the defense resting its case, calling no witnesses at all. Tonight, ABC's Aaron Kurski with the message. Shawn Combmes attorneys are trying to. send to the jury. Tonight, the criminal case against Shawn. Colmes is nearing an end, and the man. who made a living with lyrics said. nothing in his own defense. Is it your.

decision not to testify in this case? Judge Arun Subermanian asked. And Colmes. responded, "That is solely my decision.". Cols also complimenting the judge. I. want to tell you, "Thank you. You're. doing an excellent job." Defense. attorneys called no witnesses and rested. their case today moments after. prosecutors rested theirs. For more than. six weeks, jurors heard from 34. witnesses, including ex-girlfriends, former employees, male escorts, and. rapper Kid Cuddy. They watched nearly an. hour of explicit video showing Cassie. Ventura and a woman known by the.

pseudonym Jane having sex with male. prostitutes. The prosecution is seeking. to prove that the music mogul was. running a criminal enterprise that. trafficked these women. He denies it. The defense argued the sex was. consensual and asked for an acquitt, telling the judge, "The government has. failed to meet its burden." All right, let's bring in Aaron again tonight. covering this trial from the start. Tonight, the defense closing there. No. testimony from Shawn Combmes. But as you. point out, Aaron, perhaps more notable, uh, no witnesses at all for the defense. So, what kind of message are they trying. to send? What's the strategy here? It.

could be a sign of confidence, David. The jury has heard weeks of often. graphic testimony about sex and. violence, but defense attorneys are. seemingly confident tonight. They've. raised enough doubt during. cross-examinations about whether Colmes. trafficked women who stayed with him for. years. Jury deliberations could begin as. soon as late Friday. David Aaron Kurski. on the case again tonight. Thank you. We. turn tonight to the dramatic images. after a violent border patrol detention. masked border agents and an undocumented. immigrant at his landscaping job. His.

three sons are all US Marines. Here's. Trevor Alt. Give me your hand. Tonight, a controversial violent border patrol. detention caught on camera in. California. masked agents holding down. 48-year-old Narcisso Baronco in the. Santa Ana street repeatedly punching him. as he's on the ground. Barono heard. screaming and crying, resisting as they. take him into a van. Barono is the. father of three US Marines, approached. while working a landscaping job. His son.

Alejandro, a Marine veteran now calling. his dad's detention frustrating and. inhumane. I was really mad and then I. was really sad. I just wish I could have. been there to help him. The Department. of Homeland Security says the agents. were defending themselves, claiming. Barono assaulted those officers with a. weed whacker, swinging it at an agent's. face. The video posted by the agency. appears to show him trying to avoid. detention, running through the street. with that weed whacker as he's sprayed. by the agents, even attempting to open a.

car door before being tackled. From what. I'm thinking is he saw like these. individuals come up with masks, um, civilian clothes with guns out and I'm. pretty sure he got scared. In a. statement, DHS says the agents took. appropriate action and followed their. training to use the minimum amount of. force necessary to resolve the. situation. It's another example of the. Trump administration's sweeping. deportation policy. Earlier this month, ICE agents seen chasing farm workers. through strawberry fields in Southern. California.

David Barono is being held in ICE. custody here in Los Angeles. These types. of aggressive detentions have sparked. protests, but the Trump administration. is vowing to continue to ramp up its. deportation efforts. David, Trevor Al. reporting tonight. Trevor, thank you. Now to the attack on an IVF clinic in. Palm Springs. Tonight, the accused. co-conspirator of that fertility clinic. bombing has been found dead in prison. Authorities discovering Daniel Park. unresponsive today at the detention. center in Los Angeles. Details about his. death have not been released. Park was. accused of aiding the main suspect, Guy.

Bartis, who created an ammonium nitrate. car bomb that was detonated outside that. clinic last month. Barkus died when. authorities say he set off that blast. We turn now to the door that came off. that Alaska Airlines flight in midair. Tonight, the NTSB issuing its final. report on that terrifying flight, confirming the bolts securing the door. plug were removed during a repair and. not replaced. Investigators finding. multiple systemic failures, including. poor manufacturing practices at Boeing. and FAA inspections that failed to catch. them. Tonight, Boeing responding, saying.

they will review the report and quote, "Continue to implement improvements.". When we come back on the broadcast, the. syringe attack. Nearly 150 people now. reporting they were pricricked with. needles. Those victims are now being. tested. Was there anything in those. needles? The disturbing details. Later. tonight here, we remember a teen idol. You'll know his music. And look at these. images tonight. A helicopter crashing. right next to a busy restaurant. Patrons. sitting right there. We do have news. tonight on those who were on board in. just a moment here.

Tonight in France, there are calls for. vigilance after a syringe attack at a. nationwide music festival. Concerts. being held at multiple locations across. the country. Authorities say at least. 145 people now, mostly women and girls, telling authorities they were jabbed by. needles. Some reported bruises and. feeling dizzy. Police arresting 14. suspects. Victims are now being tested. tonight to see if they were injected. with any substances. Authorities have. not discussed what might have been in. those needles. Meanwhile, back here in. the US tonight, a terrifying helicopter. crash landing in Clay Township, Michigan. That's in the southeastern.

part of the state. People watching from. a nearby restaurant as the helicopter. came in for a landing. Suddenly, the. chopper tilts right there, sending the. rotor blades right into the dirt. Bystanders rushing to the site to help. the pilot and passengers. The four. people inside remarkably all escaped. uninjured and that was good news. When. we come back here tonight, a boy. suffering severe burns in a blast at a. children's museum today rushed to the. hospital. Also ahead, we remember that. teen idol and his music and what you. might see in the skies tonight. 14.

states. Back in a moment. to the index of other news tonight in. Oklahoma City, a four-year-old boy. suffered serious burns in a blast at a. children's museum, the Jasmine Moran. Children's Museum. The boy participating. in an indoor s'mores activity when fire. erupted. Witnesses say a bottle of hand. sanitizer near an open flame might have. caused that blast. He was airlifted to. the hospital. The boy's family tonight. saying he sustained burns to 15% of his. body. There will be a beautiful site. tonight across 14 states. The northern. lights. People in Alaska of course will.

have the best view of the aurora's. green, blue, and purple hues. The. spectacle all due to a geomagnetic. storm. Best seen across the northernmost. states tonight. Send us your pictures. When we come back tonight, the teen. idol, his string of hits you'll know, and his public service later in life. Finally tonight, remembering Bobby. Sherman. [Music]. Bobby Sherman was a 1960s teen idol, a. star who turned to public service later. in life.

[Music]. [Applause]. His 1969 top 10 hit, Little Woman. reached number three on the charts. Little woman, please make up your mind. You got to come into my world and leave. your world. All right. Now, a string of. hits following. La. [Music]. [Applause]. [Music]. and Julie, do you love me?

[Music]. [Applause]. He was an actor on the ABC show Here. Come the Prides before turning to music. Dick Clark asking him about the lessons. fame in music taught him about life. Overwhelmed by the power of television. that you're so immediately accepted by. uh so many families when they invite you. into their living rooms every night. Decades later, he would turn to public. service, volunteering with the LAPD and. working as a technical reserve police. officer and a reserve deputy sheriff for.

the San Bernardino County Sheriff's. Department. Earlier this year, Bobby. Sherman revealing he'd been diagnosed. with stage 4 kidney cancer. Tonight, his. wife Bridget along with actor and. musician John Stamos, who is an. ambassador for Sherman's charity, announcing his passing. His wife saying, "Bobby left this world holding my hand. just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through. all 29 beautiful years of marriage." And. John Stamos saying, "From one XT idol to. another, rest in peace, Bobby Sherman.".

Bobby Sherman was 81. [Music]. Celebrating Bobby Sherman tonight. I'll. see you tomorrow. Good night. Thank you for making World News Tonight. with David Mure, America's most watched. newscast.
