"Jennings declared the U.S. is winning the effort, noting major hits against Iran's Navy and many of their high-ranking government officials being taken out in strikes, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei."
"Phillip noted the Strait of Hormuz, where roughly 20% of the world's oil supply moves through, is closed and controlled by Iran, allowing them to influence global oil prices."
"Polling also shows Americans largely do not support another Middle East war, highlighting a disconnect between military objectives and public sentiment."
"Jamal Simmons later told Jennings he made a clear case for the Iran effort, but argued Trump does not when he discusses the goals in public."
