Walter sits down with Marine veteran, ham radio operator, and Middle East scholar Edward Jones for an urgent update on day 194 of the Iran conflict.

Plus, a reality check on how $99.70 crude oil, $5.90 diesel, and soaring fertilizer costs are hitting local farmers, winter heating, and everyday kitchen-table budgets.
