March 8, 2026; 9am: The first week of the U.S.-Iran war has been defined by contradictions as questions emerge over U.S. goals in the operation. For example, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth initially insisted this would not be a regime change war, yet President Trump is already talking about shaping Iran’s future government. MS NOW international reporter Ines De La Cuetra, MS NOW political analyst Molly Jong-Fast, and former Democratic Rep. Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania, join “The Weekend” to discuss.
