Speaker 1: the Middle East as the US and Israel continue this

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: hour to attack Iran. In response, Iran is now sending

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: drones and missiles into neighboring Gulf states. This includes Kuwait,

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. They're aiming for, among other targets,

10
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,800

17
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,880

Speaker 2: But CBS is Sam Vinegrav notes while saying that this

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: isn't about regime change.

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 3: I think it's hard to take that out of the

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: equation when you've decapitated the senior Leadership.

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,760

00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 5: They're not just striking back against US military targets, going

32
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 5: after softer targets, which they had warned about. They said,

33
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 5: we're going after everybody in this region, and that's exactly

34
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 5: what we see.

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,840

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,880

39
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,880

40
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: serving in the navy, was hurt after several missile impacts

41
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: by the Iranians on social media. They say the injuries

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: are minor. The service members impacted are on the mend.

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: It's not clear though, where the dispatcher and his team

44
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: was hit. Now the war could also have a major

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: impact at the gas pump.

46
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 6: The cost of oil we're looking at about eleven percent

47
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 6: higher in US trading at more than seventy two dollars

48
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 6: a barrel, So clearly there is an impact that we're

49
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 6: seeing right away. We're also hearing about oil refineries that

50
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 6: are just halting production right now in the region because

51
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 6: they're afraid of attacks. We know that Iranian drones were

52
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 6: trying to attack a Saudi oil refinery, and we know

53
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 6: that another refinery has said, you know what, We're just

54
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:44,800

Speaker 1: This is according to CNBC Cutter Energy, saying two Iranian

58
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: drones have now attacked their facilities. Checking out the forecast.

59
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: Now we are looking at a pretty good afternoon all

60
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: things considered, certainly not feeling like spring, even though today

61
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: technically is the start of meteorological spring, and we are

62
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: looking at a pretty calm day, lots of sun, a

63
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: couple of clouds. We've get a high year twenty eight,

64
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 1: but it certainly does feel more like the teens right now.

65
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: Hoping to get that windhill up a bit for tonight,

66
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: clear loan you're eighteen, and then for tomorrow, clouds in

67
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: the morning. But if rain and snow arriving in the

68
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: afternoon with the high in the mid to upper thirties,

69
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: whatever mixed precipitation we have will end up changed to

70
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: old rain before ending late, so it's not going to

71
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: really be too much of an accumulation saitiation that we

72
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: have to worry about, but it is going to make

73
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: that snow out there wetter and heavier to move. Now

74
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: for your Wednesday, mostly cloudy, a high pushing fifty, so
