WSJ What’s News - Why Trump Is Striking Iran Now

The launch of Operation Epic Fury against Iran by the U.S. and Israel marks the beginning of what President Trump hopes is the end of the regime in Tehran and its nuclear program. While Trump is calling on Iranians to take control of the government, Iran is hitting back with a barrage of missiles and drones targeted at Israel and U.S. bases across the Middle East. The strikes risk sparking a wider conflict in one of the world's most economically important regions. In this special episode of What's News Sunday, host Luke Vargas is joined by WSJ national-security reporter Alex Ward and WSJ Middle East correspondent Jared Malsin to discuss the strikes, Iran's response and the political debate taking shape in Washington.
