In today’s White House Briefing Room, Jon Decker breaks down the latest developments in the war with Iran as the conflict enters its third week. President Trump is urging allies to join a naval coalition to secure the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil shipping route, as energy prices surge and tensions escalate across the Middle East.
The administration says more than 6,000 Iranian targets have been struck and dozens of naval vessels destroyed, while Iran’s leadership vows to keep fighting. With oil and gas prices rising sharply in the U.S., officials hope stabilizing the region will help ease the growing global energy crisis.
Back in Washington, the Senate prepares for a major showdown over the Save America Act, a Republican-backed election bill that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and establish a nationwide voter ID requirement. Democrats are expected to block the legislation, setting up a prolonged debate on the Senate floor.
Plus, a look at President Trump’s schedule and the latest diplomatic responses from allies including the UK, Japan, South Korea, and China.
