Stephanie Ruhle Hammers Trump Over His Description Iran War: Does That Sound Like a Little Excursion to You?'

"We did a little excursion, Trump stated. We had to take this little couple of weeks, a few weeks, excursion. But it's been incredible. Our military's unbelievable. In another clip, Trump was asked about his descriptions of the war as both a war and an excursion. Well, it's both, the president replied. We're not leaving until that job is finished, and it's going to be very fast."

"An elementary school was hit in southern Iran, killing at least 175 people, mostly children. Trump administration officials reportedly confirmed the U.S. was responsible. Seven Americans have been killed by Iranian retaliatory strikes. On Wednesday's 11th Hour, Ruhle played clips of describing the war in that manner, and she explained why the term does not accurately describe the situation."

"According to [Iranian] state TV, they launched their most intense attacks yet earlier today. Three commercial ships were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran has taken responsibility for one. And just hours ago, two more tankers were attacked within Iraqi waters deeper into the persian gulf. Iraq's state news agency told The New York Times that one crew member died and 38 were rescued."

President Trump repeatedly described the U.S. and Israeli military campaign against Iran as an 'excursion,' a term typically meaning a brief leisure trip. Since bombing began on February 28, over 1,000 Iranians have died, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and top officials. An elementary school in southern Iran was struck, killing at least 175 people, mostly children, with U.S. responsibility confirmed. Seven Americans died in Iranian retaliatory strikes. MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle criticized Trump's terminology as inaccurate, highlighting the conflict's severity. Iran responded with intense attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf, disrupting oil shipments and prompting international energy intervention.
