Hey there, it's the Impair Politics Podcast.
I'm Scott Detrow.
President Trump addressed the nation tonight to talk about the war in Iran.
After a month of conflict, Trump said this is close to the end.
Tonight, I'm pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion.
As we celebrate this progress, we think especially of the 13 American warriors
who have laid down their lives in this fight.
To prevent our children from ever having to face a nuclear Iran.
We have NPR national security correspondent Greg Myrie,
White House correspondent Deepa Shivram, international affairs correspondent Jackie Northam.
Deepa, I want to start with you.
A lot of things stood out to me in this speech tonight,
but I think the main one is that President Trump delivered remarks from the White House and he made the case for a war.
