Starting today, CNN is launching into a new era. We’re now streaming. You can stream The Arena live or watch it anytime later directly on the CNN app.

Before President Trump's operation in Venezuela, @SenatorLankford told @kasie that "if you break it, you buy it." She asks him if we have done that in Iran ⬇️ "I pray that we have not," he says.

WATCH: @SenAngusKing brings props to show how rarely undocumented immigrants vote in U.S. elections. "We're talking about imposing these requirements that will disenfranchise millions of people for no reason," he says of the SAVE Act.

The WH may request $200 billion in supplemental funding for the Iran war. @SenatorLankford tells @kasie he doesn't think that "Congress should ever write any administration a blank check."

"It's kind of rich that they want to come to Congress for the money, but they didn't want to come to Congress for the authorization for the war," @SenAngusKing says of the WH's potential $200 billion funding request for the Iran war. "I mean there's a little irony there."

"The minute you can float through a tanker, even if it's empty, just to prove that it's not mined... you will immediately have an effect on the price of global oil," @kevinolearytv predicts as the Strait of Hormuz remains paralyzed. @PeterMeijer @MoElleithee @jamiegangel

.@SenMarkKelly tells @kasie that he is not reassured by what he hears behind closed doors from administration officials on Iran. He also warns that "we're in a situation where we've got some magazine depth issues that we're trying to address." ⬇️

.@SenMarkKelly tells @kasie that it "might be valid criticism" to say that it was a mistake for the Obama administration to provide Iran financial relief as part of its nuclear deal.

.@stavridisj on the current leadership situation in Iran: "I don't see anybody at the moment who is going to suddenly pop up and become a rational actor with whom we can deal."

.@elliotcwilliams reacts to Sen. Markwayne Mullin's DHS confirmation hearing: "The big question is, is this just a tonal shift for the department? Yes, he is a sort of more friendly, positive face... But are the tactics remaining the same? And I don't know if that question really has been answered by anyone in the administration or him today." W/ @XochitlHinojosa & @PeterMeijer

.@chucktodd says the resignation of a Trump-appointed senior US intelligence official over the Iran war is " a canary in the coal mine" for the president's MAGA coalition. W/ @KBeds @RepGarretGraves

.@RepJasonCrow tells @kasie that the House Intelligence Committee has not been briefed about the Marine Expeditionary Unit being deployed to the Middle East. "I find that pretty disturbing since Donald Trump has said that we've already won this war. And he's also said that this isn't a war," he says. "So, I'm confused what's even happening here."

Fmr. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta tells @kasie that the US will not be able to get a ceasefire with Iran "as long as the straits of Hormuz are closed." "Right now, Iran has a gun to the United States' head because it's the largest disruption of oil," he says. "[Trump] can't wait for allies. He can't wait for Israel. This is the United States' war."

"This does put Bondi in a catch-22," @RepGarretGraves says after the House Oversight Committee formally subpoenaed the Attorney General. "If she doesn't show up, then this is undermining the subpoena of Congress... If she shows up and says something different, then it puts her in a quandary."

President Trump says that NATO will "never be there for us."  "NATO joined the defense of the United States after 9/11. A third of all the military casualties in the war in Afghanistan were NATO soldiers," @ChrisCoons reacts.

.@kasie: "If preventing [Iran] from retaining nuclear material means sending Americans in, do you think [Trump] ultimately has support for that from Republicans? "I think it becomes much tougher," @ScottWalker predicts. W/ @SangerNYT @XochitlHinojosa @DavidChalian

Fmr. CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus predicts that if Iran's new supreme leader tries to resurrect its nuclear program, "we may have to revisit this from time to time because Israel is not going to allow a threat to manifest itself in the way that it did, actually, prior to 10/7."

Fmr. CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus reacts to breaking news that the US is sending a rapid response Marine unit to the Middle East ⬇️ "I can envision a number of different contingencies here having to do with achieving freedom of navigation through the Gulf and the Strait," he predicts.

WATCH: @marctshort explains why a judge's decision to toss the DOJ's subpoenas against Jerome Powell gives the White House "an off ramp" to confirm its hand-picked replacement for Fed Chair. ⬇️ W/ @BradOnMessage @LuluGNavarro @elliotcwilliams @adrienneelrod

"That would be a complete disaster," @RepRobertGarcia reacts to the idea of Jeanine Pirro replacing Pam Bondi as Attorney General. "I'm not sure you get worse than Pam Bondi. But that might be it right there."

Fmr. Pentagon Spokesperson John Kirby on the WH's Iran war promotional montages: "I wish we could elevate the discussion a little bit higher than that, I don't think it's helpful."
