Despite two days of US attacks on targets in Iran this week and Iran saying the US struck a wedding ceremony yesterday, killing five.

Wall Street is higher today. Investors buying up stocks after those two days in a row of declines. The Dow, the Nasdaq and the S&P right now all up about 4/10 of 1%. And oil is slightly higher now close to $91 a barrel. That's the highest since June. And retired NBA star Russell Westbrook joining Project B. It's a startup trying to create a global basketball league that'll launch in January across Asia, Europe and the Americas, hosting men's and women's tournament.
