What Lebanon’s Got To Do With Iran’s Stalled Talks; Plus, Graham Platner’s Sexting Scandal

from Here's the Scoop · host Yasmin Vossoughian, Jonathan Allen, Richard Engel

Iranian government-aligned media says Iran is walking away from the negotiating table and considering resuming its full closure of the Strait of Hormuz after exchanging strikes with the U.S. and in protest of Israel’s expanding military offensive in Lebanon. NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel explains the latest in the war — and how Israel’s deepest incursion into Lebanon in decades is making progress more difficult. Then, NBC News Senior National Politics Reporter Jon Allen explains why Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner’s sexting scandal doesn’t seem to be hurting his poll numbers in Maine and how Democrats nationwide are reacting amid their bid to regain control of the Senate.
