Ceasefire: Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Economic Impact of Operation in Iran

C-SPAN's Ceasefire — Former Defense Secretaries Mark Esper (R) and Leon Panetta (D) on how the joint U.S.-Israeli combat operation in Iran could exacerbate economic pressures for Americans: "The price of gasoline at the pump has gone from $2.80, $2.90 a gallon, to what, $3.40, $3.50?" Esper said. "This is not something you want…as you head into the summer travel season, vacations, and certainly not as you get closer and closer to the midterm elections."
