War rules | Civilian Tolls | And the dark calculus | Arwa Damon Jim Acosta

She was just in Lebanon. And Afghanistan. Now she's telling Jim Acosta what she saw — and it's nothing like what's being reported in America.

Veteran war correspondent Arwa Damon has spent decades in conflict zones. She knows the difference between a war being reported and a war being understood. Right now the Iran conflict is neither.

Damon just returned from Lebanon where a million people have been forcibly displaced, and from the Afghan-Iran border where girls who fled the Taliban to get an education in Iran are now being forced back to nothing.

She breaks down what the Strait of Hormuz closure really means — not just oil prices, but food supplies for millions across the region.

And she asks the question every person in the Middle East is already asking: where does this end?

Plus — what happens when the world's most powerful military quietly abandons its rules of engagement? Damon has seen it before. She's seeing it again.

This is the ground truth that isn't making it onto American television.
