On Wednesday, July 29th, 2026, President Trump vowed a retaliatory strike against Iran following a failed attack by the Iranian regime targeting U.S. forces. The announcement came amid heightened tensions between the two nations.

This development was reported by NBC News correspondent Garrett Haake. Alongside this, NBC Politics also covered other notable events including actor Jared Leto being accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, a manhunt in Seattle after a deadly shootout at a food festival, and a tribute delivered by Trump at Lindsey Graham's funeral.

In a separate event promoting peace, Andrea Bocelli and a children’s choir performed for Pope Leo at a 'Concert for Peace.'
