Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan

This week on Face the Nation, the consequences of the war in Iran are increasingly reverberating across the globe. The world's oil supply is under intensifying pressure as Iran threatens to blow up tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and the U.S. strikes back at the heart of Iran's critical oil hub. President Trump is now asking U.S. allies to send warships to the region to help keep the Strait open as Tehran doubles down on its blockade. We get the latest from Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi. Meanwhile, the pain from the oil supply shock is beginning to hit Americans at the gas pump. We ask President Trump's top economic adviser Kevin Hassett what the administration can do to lower energy prices. The top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee Senator Mark Warner and Texas Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw also join us. Plus, there were three violent attacks in the U.S. last week against the backdrop of global conflict.  How safe are we in the homeland? We get analysis from our panel of experts, including former counterterrorism official Samantha Vinograd, former CIA operative Jonny Gannon and energy policy expert Kevin Book.

This week on Face the Nation, as the war on Iran enters its second week, concerns about a global energy crisis are growing. U.S. and Israeli forces stepped up their bombing campaign through the weekend, targeting Iranian airports, oil depots, bases and more. President Trump promises an escalation of hostilities until Tehran offers a complete and unconditional surrender. But Iran's defiant leaders say they will never surrender, hitting back hard at U.S. facilities and allies in the region, striking oil and gas infrastructure, putting pressure on much of the world's energy supply. We speak with Energy Secretary Chris Wright about the potential for a serious global supply shock, and what it could mean for oil and gas prices in the U.S. Plus, we ask Israel's Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Leiter how his government's objectives square with U.S. goals. And we also check in with Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine. Finally, Ukraine's Ambassador Olga Stefanishyna joins us to discuss Kyiv's offer to share expertise on countering Iranian drones.
