P.M. Edition for Mar. 3. Three days after the U.S.-Israeli strikes killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, President Trump isn’t sure who he wants in power in Tehran. WSJ national security reporter Vera Bergengruen discusses the options he’s presented. Plus, Trump said Iran's military has been largely neutralized, which, as markets reporter Hannah Erin Lang describes, helped markets regain their footing from their earlier drop early today. And the case for going to war with Iran comes under growing scrutiny. We hear from WSJ reporter Alexander Ward about how the administration is talking about why it went to war, and why it matters. Alex Ossola hosts.

The facts on the ground and the ludicrous statements speak for themselves: The administration inadequately planned for the execution of this war. That's likely why six service members were killed in an insufficiently protected facility. It's why our embassy in Riyadh and our consulate in Dubai were hit with drones. And the administration clearly does not have an exit plan. Venezuela had Trump thinking this could be a cakewalk, but in the Middle East, circumstances can change in a heartbeat. Plus, Israel's role in pushing for the military campaign, Marco's effort to pawn off responsibility for the war, and Gallego's endorsement of Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary. Sen. Ruben Gallego and Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling join Tim Miller.

On August 19th, 2016 Saudi national and college student Abdulrahman Sameer Noorah was charged with first degree manslaughter for fatally hitting a 15 year old girl named Fallon Smart with his car in Portland, Oregon. Two weeks before his trial, he disappeared from the United States. Federal agents suspect he escaped with the help of the Saudi Arabian government -- and it seems he's not the only one. In fact, over the years, it seems dozens of Saudi nationals accused of various crimes in the US and Canada have illegally escaped prosecution, and will likely never see jail time or justice. And the US government hasn't done much to address this ongoing pattern of conspiracy. Tune in to learn more in this Classic episode.
