Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. President Trump is threatening Iran after the funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei saw calls for his killing. The comments by Trump were made on social media where he said a thousand missiles are locked and loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow. The largest housing bill in decades became law moments ago with President -- without President Trump's signature. As NPR's Steven Bisaha reports, the law is meant to encourage home building across the country.

This law is packed with more than forty different provisions, and at the heart of it is the idea of boosting the number of houses in the US to decrease the cost to buy a home. The law encourages home building, in part by loosening federal regulations and offering financial carrots to communities that build more homes. It also bans large investors from buying up more than three hundred and fifty homes, a policy pushed by President Trump. Trump refused to sign the law to protest lawmakers not passing his voter ID election overhaul bill, the Save America Act. He did not veto the housing bill, and it automatically became law ten days after he received the bill from Congress and did not take any action. Steven Bisaha, NPR News.
