Now, energy prices are rising with the Middle East conflict.

So if we see this job market weakening, what does that mean for the Fed's next meeting later this month?

That was WSJ economics reporter Justin Layhart.

Thanks, Justin.

In news today about the war in the Middle East, President Trump is calling for Iran's unconditional surrender and, quote, acceptable leadership in the country.

He said the U.S.

and allies would then work to strengthen Iran's economy.

A State Department spokesman said today that nearly 24,000 Americans have returned to the U.S.

from the Middle East since the war with Iran began.

But getting them out hasn't been easy.

We're exclusively reporting that some 1,000 people who were in Dubai for a Google corporate sales extravaganza got stuck there.

Google has since arranged for many to leave.

The company says it's focused on the safety of its employees in the region.

Meanwhile, U.S.

military investigators think American forces were likely responsible for a strike that killed dozens of children at a girls' elementary school in Iran.

That's according to a U.S.

official.

A Wall Street Journal analysis found that the school is located on the edge of a compound linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth said this week that the U.S.

is investigating the strike.
