U.S. Central Command chief General Kenneth McKenzie says the United States has the “resources necessary” to deter Iran from taking any “dangerous” actions in the Gulf region.

McKenzie told Sky News Arabia during an official visit to the region on April 27 that Washington would work with allies in the Gulf to present a united front against Tehran.

"We're going to continue to reach out to our partners and friends in the region to ensure that we make common cause against the threat of Iran," McKenzie was quoted by Sky News Arabia as saying, according to a transcript released by the Abu Dhabi-based channel.

"I believe we'll have the resources necessary to deter Iran from taking actions that will be dangerous. We will be able to respond effectively," he added.

The suspect in the shooting at a synagogue in Poway, California is a 19-year-old white man named John T. Earnest, multiple law enforcement sources told NBC News.

A manifesto published in his name was published on Saturday morning on 8chan, an online message board popular with the far-right, NBC reported. The writer of the manifesto took credit for the unsolved arson of a mosque last month in Escondido, nine miles from Poway. Earnest is now being investigated in relation to that incident, according to NBC.

The Escondido arsonist reportedly left a note at the scene praising Brenton Tarrant, who killed 50 worshippers at New Zealand mosques last month. The Poway manifesto also praises Tarrant and shares many characteristics of tone and format as the New Zealand shooter’s own writing. The Poway document also praised Robert Bowers, the alleged gunman in last year’s Pittsburgh synagogue massacre. Eleven people were killed in that attack, which took place six months to the day before the Poway shooting.

INDIANAPOLIS — The New York attorney general has launched an investigation into the National Rifle Association in the wake of recent reports on the group’s finances.

The office of Attorney General Letitia James has issued document preservation notices to the NRA and some affiliated entities as part of the investigation, a source confirmed.

The NRA will “fully cooperate” with any inquiry into its finances, William A. Brewer III, a lawyer for the NRA, said in a statement on Saturday.

“The NRA is prepared for this, and has full confidence in its accounting practices and commitment to good governance,” Mr. Brewer said.

The New York Times reported that Ms. James’ office on Friday sent letters instructing the NRA and its affiliated entities, including its charitable foundation, to preserve relevant documents and that some of the NRA’s related businesses also received subpoenas.

Earlier Saturday, NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre called Ms. James out for her past comments likening the group to a “terrorist organization.”

“She vowed to conduct a taxpayer-funded fishing expedition to investigate us in the state where we were founded 148 years ago,” Mr. LaPierre said. “The governor’s chosen candidate for attorney general vowed to attack the NRA as a pillar of her campaign platform even before she was elected into office.”
