Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst. President Trump says he expects more U.S. service members will be killed in the war with Iran. And as NPR's Tamara Keith reports, Trump says the U.S.
is winning the war by, quote, a lot.
Chapter 2: What are President Trump's expectations regarding U.S. military casualties in the Iran war?
Trump spoke with reporters on Air Force One shortly after attending the dignified transfer of six U.S. soldiers killed in the war. He said he would only accept unconditional surrender from Iran.
It's where they cry uncle or where they can't fight any longer and there's nobody around to cry uncle. That could happen, too, because we've wiped out their leadership numerous times already. So it's if they surrender or if there is nobody around to surrender.
Asked about sending in ground troops, Trump said it wasn't an appropriate question, but that if it happened, it would have to be for a very good reason. Tamara Keith, NPR News.
Hearing the voices from people inside Iran during this war is difficult, as the regime restricts Internet access and can arrest those who speak with foreign media. NPR's Ruth Sherlock heard from one woman, Shadi, who for her safety asks us to use only her first name.
Shadi describes the scene she witnessed while she accompanied her mother to a hospital for cancer treatment. They passed government buildings, military bases and centres for Iran's Revolutionary Guards, shattered by US and Israeli airstrikes. Their lives too are now caught in the anatomy of this war. They wait in line to buy gas or bread.
And Shadi says her seven-year-old niece wakes in the night in fear from the bombs. Shadi wants to see the regime fall, but this situation is difficult too. Every two or three days I make a dessert or a cake, she says, so that I can stay connected to life. Ruth Sherlock, NPR News, near the border with Iran.
Deadly storms moved across the Midwest and the Green Plains last night, spawning more than a dozen reported tornadoes. The storms left at least four dead in Michigan and two in Oklahoma, with more than a dozen people injured. Grayson Wheeler with member station KOSU has more on the situation in Oklahoma.
Okmulgee County emergency management officials say power crews and other responders weren't able to do their work in that area Saturday morning because so many people were trying to see the damage. These storms came just a day after a mother and daughter died in their car in western Oklahoma. Emergency management officials say they were struck by an unconfirmed tornado.
Governor Kevin Stitt has declared a state of emergency for eight counties in northeast Oklahoma. Across the state, four western counties are still under a state of emergency after wildfires devastated hundreds of thousands of acres in late February. Grayson Wheeler reporting.
