Ambassador, just through her weight behind President Trump's military push against Iran. She says the U.S. should finish the job right and not settle for half-measures. In a CNBC interview, Haley called the strike's miraculous, with 75 percent of the work already done by American and Israeli forces. The campaign kicked off on February 28th under Operation Epic Fury after nuclear talks collapsed. Now in its fifth week, it's hit thousands of targets, like revolutionary guard bases, air defenses, missile sites, and airfields. The goal is to cripple Iran's threats to the U.S. and allies. Folks are feeling the heat from this widening fight, with thousands dead and big debates in Washington and among partners. She markets are shaking up too, as clashes disrupt the strait of hormones, forcing Asia to hunt other oil routes and sparking inflation worries.
