About this episode
The U.S. and Iran are exchanging strikes for the sixth day in a row, as the two countries battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz. Negar Mortazavi, senior fellow at the Center for International Policy, joins us with the latest. Then, nearly half of House Democrats voted Wednesday to end billions of dollars in aid to Israel. The vote marks a major shift in the Democratic Party's long support for the country. We get analysis from the Forward's Jacob Kornbluh. And, the 2026 FIFA World Cup is down to just two matches and four teams. Will Argentinian legend Lionel Messi and his team continue to be the comeback kings? Or will Spain hoist their first World Cup since 2010? Reporter Steve Futterman weighs in.
