On today's news brief: The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said today that it will inspect Iran's nuclear sites but that there is no rush to do so, the Senate has also approved a war powers resolution meant to pressure President Donald Trump to remove the U.S. military from hostilities in Iran, a recently resurfaced podcast clip has shown Texas Senate candidate James Talarico proclaiming that he is a "Christian who hates Christianity" along with other questionable stances, and the Department of Justice opened a probe into a New York City establishment by the name of Poetica Coffee. This came after Poetica posted online that it would have refused service to pro-Israel U.S. Representative for New York Dan Goldman had it recognized him during a visit he made there on Sunday.
