PBS News Hour full episode, April 6, 2026

Correction: In the segment on the Artemis II mission, we incorrectly described how a moon crater was named for NASA commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, Carroll. Jeremy Hansen should have been identified as the astronaut who spoke to Mission Control about naming the crater, a suggestion made jointly by the crew. We regret the error.

Monday on the News Hour, fears of a broader escalation are growing after President Trump threatens strikes on Iran’s civilian infrastructure. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz spikes fertilizer prices, hurting American farmers during the critical spring planting season. Plus, NASA's Artemis mission makes history, carrying astronauts farther from Earth than humans have ever traveled.
