The United States and Iran traded strikes throughout the weekend in another volatile flare-up of attacks, with ramifications stretching across the wider middle east. The hostilities were set off on Saturday when Iran fired at a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz and declared the key waterway closed. The U.S. military responded with a series of strikes, hitting 140 Iranian military targets on Saturday and dozens more on Sunday, according to U.S. Central Command. Staff writer at The Atlantic covering National security and the Defense Department, Nancy Youssef, joins Way Too Early with the latest.
