A ceasefire between Israel and Iran appears to be holding at this hour.
President Trump spoke briefly to reporters this morning on the White House lawn.

He used an expletive and said he was unhappy that the two countries had both initially violated the agreement to pause attacks.

More than a week after Israel kicked off the new war with Iran, Trump intervened on Saturday by ordering a U.S. strike on three Iranian nuclear sites.

This morning the president has been re-posting messages on social media from supporters calling his handling of the conflict “an overwhelming…victory” and “a historic masterclass.”

But a member of Washington's congressional delegation disagrees.

Guest:

Adam Smith is a House Democrat who represents parts of Bellevue and Seattle all the way to Auburn and Federal Way.
