Hey there, from CNN, I'm David Rhine with the five things you need to know for Tuesday, March 10th. So is the war in Iran ending soon or not? President Donald Trump told CBS yesterday that, quote, the war is very complete, pretty much. But then just hours later, at a press conference said, we're going to go further. Enter his secretary of defense Pete Hegseth, who briefed reporters at the Pentagon this morning. His timeline was also unclear. We will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated. But we do so. We do so on our timeline and at our choosing. He said today will be the most intense day of strikes inside Iran. While chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Cain said the U.S. is targeting underground weapons storage sites, Hegseth also says the strike on the girls' school in Iran that killed at least 168 children and 14 teachers will be, quote, thoroughly investigated. He said, no nation takes more precautions to make sure there are no civilian casualties.

Frankly, that's a point that just isn't appreciated enough. Where things happen that need to be investigated, we will investigate. CNN and expert analysis of the evidence suggests the U.S. was responsible for the strike on February 28th, a neighboring Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval base was struck around the same time. We had to take a quick break when we come back. President Trump is also weighing in on Iran's new Supreme Leader, stick around. Spring is here and the shopping list is long. Time to make a lows run. Buy three bags, get three free, stay green, one cubic foot garden soil. Plus, right now, members can earn four times the points on an eligible purchase. Start spring off strong with these deals and more. Our best lineup is here at Loads. The president Trump is sharing more thoughts on Iran's newly-selected Supreme Leader,

Mushedabah Hameini. Trump told Fox News he didn't believe the younger Hameini could, quote, live in peace. It's unclear exactly what he meant by that, but the president has expressed disappointment in the pick and has insisted the U.S. be involved in determining the country's next leader. You know, I was disappointed because we think it's going to lead to just more of the same problem for the country, so I was disappointed to see their choice. Trump also said he's open to talks with Iranian leaders. Meanwhile, the head of Iran's National Security Council issued a second warning to Trump, saying he should be careful, quote, not to get eliminated. Comment comes a response to a social media post from Trump where he warned that Iran would be at 20 times harder if it blocked the flow of oil through the straight-of-formos. Speaking of oil, oil prices fell sharply this morning to below $92 a barrel after President Trump claimed the war with Iran will be over very soon. It calmed investors at least for now, but the conflict has already pushed prices far above where they were before the strikes, including at the pump. AAA reports average gas prices rose to their highest level in 18 months, $354 a gallon, and

diesel prices are rising even faster. And the big worry, of course, is the straight-of-formos, this critical oil shipping route in the Middle East. The world's top oil exporter, Saudi Ramco, warned of catastrophic consequences for the global economy, should the war continue to disrupt oil flows. And actually, I spoke to a seafarer working on one of these ships that is waiting to transit through the straight on the other show that I host is called CNN One Thing. Go check that out tomorrow wherever you listen. Only 20 candidates, one congressional seat. That is the situation today at Northwest Georgia, as voters will start to decide who will fill the congressional seat vacated by former Magistar Marjorie Taylor Greene. I say start, because this will almost certainly go to a runoff. It's a so-called jungle primary, which means the top two vote getters, regardless of party, will advance to an April runoff if no one gets over 50 percent, and that's a tall task with so many candidates in the race. Even of course, had an epic breakup with President Trump and the Magat base in Congress last year, midter frustrations with how they handled the Jeffrey Epstein files among other

issues. CNN's Ryan Young is in Rome, Georgia. Energized voters is what we've seen so far. Early this morning, a lot of people have some ideas of what they want to see. I should say, the word that I've heard over and over is common sense. They want to see more of it, especially in Washington. They kept talking about gas prices and the war in Iran and also protecting Israel. Trump has endorsed Clay Fuller, a former prosecutor and Air Force veteran. One more quick break when we come back, the FDA is reversing course on a potential autism treatment. That's next, stick around. Introducing Shark Facial Proglow, a first of its kind at home facial. Pro-level extraction removes impurities and dual temperature technology boosts radiant winds and deep puffs with both insta-heat and insta-chill technology. Treat yourself to a hydro-fueled glow in minutes. And because Shark Facial Proglow fits in the palm of your hand, you can get that luminous post-baw glow anywhere.

Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty McCarry claiming this last fall. Our research has revealed that full-lake deficiency and a child's brain can lead to autism. We have also identified an exciting therapy that may benefit large numbers of children who suffer from autism. We are going to change the label to make it available hundreds of thousands of kids in my opinion will benefit. Instead, the agency approved the drug Luke of Warren, only for an extremely rare genetic condition that affects how full-lake reaches the brain, something seen in about 1 in a million people. That's far narrower than what officials suggested. A senior FDA official said yesterday that the evidence simply isn't strong enough to support it as an autism treatment. Alright, that's it for right now. Thanks for listening. We'll be back at 6 p.m. Eastern. Talk to you later.

This week on the podcast, Terms of Service, there's a growing category of products aimed specifically at addressing women's unique health needs. These tools and services are sometimes known as FEMTEC, and they can provide big opportunities and benefits, but they can also come with some risks. To walk us through all of this, I spoke with Bethany Corbin. Bethany is an attorney and CEO of FEM Innovation, where she advises startups, clinicians, and healthcare organizations. In my opinion, what it really does is gives us a collective language to talk about women's healthcare innovation and the tools that are out there so that we can take control of our healthcare experiences and know how to advocate for ourselves in a system that's probably not been designed to advocate for us. Listen to CNN's Terms of Service wherever you get your podcasts.
