The United States has responded to a recent attack on its forces with major strikes against Iran, authorized by President Trump. This action follows a promise of strong retaliation for what the administration has called a surprise attack. The strikes mark a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries. Public opinion within the US appears critical of the President's Iran policy, with a new poll revealing 72% disapproval. Details of the strikes are still emerging, and the extent of the damage and any potential casualties remain unclear. NBC News correspondent Gabe Gutierrez is reporting on the developing situation. The move raises concerns about further instability in the region.
