| 0:00.0 | Good evening from the newsroom, topping our CNN global war coverage tonight. |
| 0:07.8 | News strikes by Israel and Lebanon and a flurry of new threats from the president against Iran. |
| 0:13.6 | Posting on his social network, he says, there are reports that Iran is charging fees to tankers |
