ND politicians react to military action in Iran, U.S. forces suffer first casualties

In the early morning of Saturday, Feb. 28, the U.S. in coordination with Israel initiated military strikes in Iran, attacks that President Donald Trump has said will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Later that same day, North Dakota’s congressional representatives and Gov. Kelly Armstrong, all Republicans, issued statements in support of Trump’s actions while a Fox News poll indicated Americans were evenly divided on the conflict, and a statement from North Dakota’s Democratic-NPL communications director was sharply critical. The following day, U.S. forces suffered their first casualties when a drone strike hit a command center in Kuwait.

Flight controllers traced the blank communication to a bad computer chip and rearranged the spacecraft’s coding to work around the trouble. In mid-April 2024, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory declared success after receiving good engineering updates. The team is still working to restore transmission of the science data. (NASA via AP)
