0:00.0	Good evening. I'm Eugene Daniels in for Stephanie Rule. Welcome to the midweek nightcap.
0:09.2	Tonight, the U.S. launched another round of attacks on Iran. In a statement, the military said
0:14.8	these were, quote, self-defense strikes in response to Iran's unwarranted and continued aggression.
