How do Israel and Iran tensions impact the U.S.?
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Tensions continue to rise after an Israeli attack that targeted Iran's nuclear program. This comes before President Trump was scheduled to hold peace talks between the two countries. 2 NEWS spoke with local experts on what this all means for U.S. security. Five things to know about Israel's attack on Iran There are still a lot more questions than answers after this strike, as both sides continue to warn the other about continued attacks and retaliatory attacks, but one Cedarville University professor says any harm coming to U.S. soil is still relatively low. 'Tensions have really been rising between the two, especially in recent years,' said Dr. Glen Duerr, Cedarville University professor of international studies. Israel and Iran have been exchanging strikes over the past 24 hours, all centered around Iran's growth in nuclear weaponry. 'It must be at a point where Mossad, the roughly equivalent of Israel's CIA, said that Iran is a danger,' said Duerr. 'They're getting to a breakout point, where they need to act.' Duerr says a lot escalated following the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. 'Especially after October 7, 2023, when Israel's territory was attacked, and notably, as well, Iran for the first time directly attacked Israel via drone in April and then again in October of 2024,' said Duerr. Concerns have been raised as to if the U.S. could see an attack of this scale, or even a cybersecurity attack — especially towards prominent military locations like Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. But Dr. Duerr doesn't see that happening. 'It's certainly possible, but not likely. I think the target is Israel, although the Israeli and American defense industries are very, very closely coordinated, including in this area around Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,' said Duerr. 'Certainly Iran could target the United States in terms of a cyberattack, but it's the timing doesn't make an awful lot of sense.' Israel attacks Iran's capital with explosions booming across Tehran 2 NEWS reached out to WPAFB to see if they have increased security in response to the recent activity, but have not heard back. President Trump has attempted to hold peace talks between the two countries, but the outcomes of what could happen due to this conflict are endless. 'My sense is that we'll see this kind of lower level tension, some exchanges between the two continue with low intensity into the future until something that changes, whether it's Iran's nuclear weapons program being discontinued or, heaven forbid, something broader that happens in the Middle East as well,' said Duerr. Duerr tells 2 NEWS that the conflict will be continuing — especially if Israel feels that Iran's nuclear program could reach a critical breakout point. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Longtime dorm fixture demolished at Cedarville University, making room for growth
It's been a bittersweet moment for students and alumni at Cedarville University as demolition crews tore down Williams Hall. It holds many memories for people who once lived in the dorm hall. Director of Gift Planning for Cedarville University, Roscoe Smith, said, 'When I arrived on campus in the fall of 1978 as a 17-year-old freshman, I was housed in Williams Hall, which at the time was a men's dorm.'

He said it was fun reliving the memories as he watched it come down. 'Playing way too much foosball. We had a lounge up on the second floor with a foosball table, and we had tournament after tournament,' Smith said. He continued by saying, 'It's the people that made the difference, not the building.' Williams Hall was transitioned in 1981 to house campus offices, beginning with student services. In recent years, it has been home to several academic departments. This is one of the final steps to rebuilding the campus. The Bolthouse Academic Center will be built at that location, costing $35 million. 'That will house offices, classrooms, student collaboration space, conference rooms for many of our liberal arts programs,' Smith said. He continued by saying it's pivotal for the school's growth. 'It's thrilling to see what Cedarville is continuing to move forward in advance, especially in today's higher ed market, which is very, very challenging,' Smith said. Cedarville University said they plan to have the new academic center open by the Fall semester of the 2027-28 school year with a total of three floors. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

Local pharmacist saves two lives in one day
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — A Kroger pharmacist is being recognized for her heroic acts last week. Kroger is commending one of its pharmacists for saving not one, but two lives during her work shift last week. According to Kroger, Pharmacist Megan Alt was attending to the drive-thru when a customer at the window began experiencing convulsions. Alt grabbed an epi pen, ran out the fire exit and administered the medication before calling 911. During that same shift, a security guard alerted Alt to an individual passed out in the store's restroom. Alt was able to administer Narcan and once again dialed 911 to save the person's life. 'We're so proud of Megan for taking extraordinary measures to care for her patients when they needed it most,' said Kroger. Alt is originally from Perrysburg and earned a bachelor's degree in pharmaceutical science in 2018 from Cedarville University. She then earned her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Cedarville in 2021. The university is also praising Alt for her quick response to those in need. 'The Cedarville University School of Pharmacy, along with Megan's colleagues at Kroger, congratulate Megan on serving others well,' said Cedarville University. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
