Escalation ladder: US officials may be hiding the true number of servicemen and women injured and killed in the war with Iran
It appears the war with Iran has entered a new chapter. After nine straight days and waves of strikes, US President Donald Trump is threatening to make Iran pay, more than ever. He took to social media saying: “Every time Iran kills an American soldier they will pay for that killing many times over! This directive has been passed on to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth,” in response to multiple Americans being killed over the weekend. America Now anchor Ben Swann talks with Brandon Weichert of the Weichert brief about the latest developments. Plus an apparent attack outside New York’s 26 Federal Plaza has sparked a major investigation after a homemade firebomb was ignited near the building that houses ICE, the FBI, and other federal agencies. And New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani says that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be arrested if he comes to the city. America Now’s Olivia Flynn has the story.
