Summary
On today’s episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton leads with breaking news as U.S. Central Command announces the death of another U.S. service member connected to the war with Iran, killed during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian drone. As the United States and Iran edge closer to a wider conflict, the Trump administration says it carries out intense overnight strikes in retaliation for an Iranian attack on a U.S. base in Jordan that kills two American service members—the first U.S. casualties reported since the cease-fire collapses last week. Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, joins the discussion.
