Summary

The United States' war on Iran is quickly expanding into a regional conflict. On its fourth day, Iran attacked the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, coming after their attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait. In total, over 700 Iranians have been killed as of Tuesday afternoon. Meanwhile, all eyes are on Texas, as voters head to the polls to cast their ballots in one of the first primary elections in the country. The race has already become the most expensive primary in U.S. history, with more than $15 million spent on advertising, according to AdImpact. Democrats haven't won a statewide election since 1994, and they're hoping to make history in November. In business, California gas prices may rise due to the U.S. war on Iran, and Paramount plans to merge its streaming platform with HBO Max as part of its $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. Read more at https://LATimes.com.

0:53.4	which is a good for a good and the world's about it. The Americans are betting on their capacity to destroy the Iranian offensive capabilities before they can enact.
1:08.4	And ultimately, it will be that balance between how much do the Iranians still have to hurt
1:14.2	others and how much can the Americans forestall that, that will decide more or less the outcome
1:20.6	of this time. It's a good point. It's a good point of people who are the people who are the people who are going to be in the world. You're going to be a very good. And we're going to get.
