Episode notes
U.S. Says Iran Agreed To Most Points While Military Options Loom
- President Trump says Iran has agreed to most of a 15-point U.S. plan while also threatening military action like seizing Karg Island.
- U.S. forces positioned, 3,500 sailors and Marines arrived and officials weigh adding 10,000 troops, pushing oil prices up.

- Congress remains gridlocked; short-term House funding passed while bipartisan Senate funding was rejected, leaving wider DHS relief uncertain.
