Hundreds are dead in Iran.

At least 10 people have been killed in Israel by Iranian missiles and drones.

Iranian drones also killed three people in the UAE, injured dozens more there.

They killed one person in Bahrain, two in Iraq, one in Kuwait, and dozens in Lebanon.

I assume the Lebanon casualties, Ben, are a combination of Israeli and Iranian fire.

A number of people have been wounded in Qatar and Oman as well.

And by the way, those casualty stats were coming from a running tally by Al Jazeera.

President Trump did not deliver a major address to the nation about Iran over the weekend.

The White House did not book any senior officials on the Sunday talk shows.

They just released these bizarre video messages from Trump.

And then Trump sporadically took calls from reporters and offered sort of incoherent lines of messaging.

Trump finally did an event where he spoke publicly today, as did Secretary Hegseth and Chairman Kaine.

We'll play all that for you in a minute.

But this really has been like a case study in how not to communicate.

So, Ben, we'll get into the Iranian response deeper in a minute.

But any initial reactions to from you to like what you've seen since Saturday?

Yeah.

The machine gun firing on the floor analogy is a perfect description of what Iran has been doing because they continue to target not just U.S.

bases in the Middle East and Israel, but also these Gulf countries.

On Monday, Iran attacked energy sites in Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
