March 16, 2026 - PBS News Hour full episode

Season 2026 Episode 57 | 56m 44s

Monday on the News Hour, President Trump scolds allies for not helping protect oil tankers from Iran and talks to PBS News in a phone call about the war and oil prices. Ordinary Iranians share audio messages about life in the midst of the ongoing war. Plus, an increase in anti-Islamic rhetoric from Republican politicians raises concerns about religious hatred and potential violence.
