We begin this evening in Washington, where President Trump said that the U.S.

would resume attacks on Iran later today.

That's what he told reporters in the Oval Office.

Trump said the flare-up in fighting comes as both countries continue to work on a lasting peace deal.

On social media today, Trump said that Iran has taken too long to negotiate a deal and, quote, now they will have to pay the price.

President Trump also called on Congress to pass a short-term extension of a federal surveillance program, Section 702 of FISA, which is set to expire Friday.

Trump says that the program is crucial for national security.

Staying in Washington, the Journal has learned that the Justice Department has sent subpoenas to some of America's largest banks, including JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America.
