Trump says Iran 'wants to make a deal so badly' as US launches strikes

Shelagh Fogarty is joined by Middle East Eric Mandel as the US resumes powerful strikes on Iran. US Central Command said in a post on X on Tuesday, adding that the strikes were in response to what it said were Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media has reported that six projectiles have hit the area of Taheroui Pier in the south of the country. Other explosions were reported in the port city of Sirik, Qeshm Island and Bandar Abbas, but media provided no immediate details on the cause of the blasts or any casualties or damage.
