Global National: March 3, 2026 | War in Middle East escalates as Iran strikes US bases, embassies

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration says its and Israel's war against Iran is going to intensify as the Iranian regime continues to retaliate. Jeff Semple reports from Istanbul on how the violence is expanding and escalating by the hour. There's confusion surrounding what Trump is hoping to achieve in the war on Iran. Jackson Proskow reports on how Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are giving competing narratives for launching the attack – and how the majority of the American public, including some MAGA members, is skeptical of the military action against Iran. Some Canadian travellers who are stuck in the Middle East amid the region's war are growing more frustrated with the limited options they have to safely get home. As Heidi Petracek reports, those Canadians are calling on the federal government to step up and help. Plus, B.C. will soon join Saskatchewan and Yukon by ditching twice-a-year time changes. Heather Yourex-West explains why B.C. is moving to permanent daylight saving time, how Alberta is now considering following suit and whether any other provinces want to end the practice too.
