America Now - July 15, 9 PM EST

Published 16 Jul, 2026 06:16

A war of uncertainty: As war hawk senator passes away, who will take over the war machine’s drums?

The United States has launched another round of strikes inside Iran. And while the Pentagon says these attacks are about protecting shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, the targets are showing the opposite.

US Central Command says the strikes were designed to degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping, but the targets seem to be something else entirely. America Now anchor Jalyssa Dugrot talks with former CIA intelligence analyst and host of ‘The Deep State’ John Kiriakou about what’s really going on. And the International Space Station welcomes its newest colleagues: American astronaut Anil Menon and Russian cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina. We have an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the preparation it took to get here.
