Summary
Iranian drones hit at least three ships near the Strait of Hormuz, where 20% of global oil travels through. Matt Gutman discusses the importance of the strait, while Charlie D’Agata discusses CBS reporting that dozens of U.S. troops injuries, some more serious than we previously knew, in the drone attack on March 1. Major interviews Washington Democrat Adam Smith and Nebraska Republican Don Bacon, who both serve on the House Armed Services Committee, to discuss their varying perspectives on the war in Iran. Plus, Major speaks with Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman on a variety of topics: Iran, the ongoing shutdown impacting Homeland Security and Trump’s push to pass the Save America Act.
