## Resource

On tonight’s Nightcap- Iran fires on three ships in the Strait of Hormuz and seizes two of them as the U.S. maintains its blockade of Iranian ports. Then, the Trump administration reportedly nears a deal to rescue Spirit Airlines as it faces skyrocketing jet fuel costs and possible liquidation. Plus, new reporting that the White House is weighing giving the UAE financial support as it deals with economic fallout from the war with Iran. David Rohde, Ron Insana, John Avlon, Eddie Glaude, and Sen. Rand Paul join The 11th Hour this Wednesday night.
