The CBS Evening News is going on the road, as Tony Dokoupil will anchor the newscast from the Middle East this week.
During the week of March 2nd, Dokoupil will anchor the program from locations in the Middle East as the U.S. and Israeli military’s action against Iran continues.
On Monday, Tony Dokoupil will helm the show from Amman, Jordan. He’ll then shift to Tel Aviv, Israel, on Tuesday. It remains to be seen if he will move to a different location later in the week or continue to host the nightly newscast from Israel.
Chief correspondent Matt Gutman and national security correspondent Charlie D’Agata will report from Tel Aviv for CBS Evening News.
Meanwhile, senior foreign correspondent Imtiaz Tyvab will report from the Persian Gulf, while chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes and business correspondent Kelly O’Grady will contribute reports from Washington, D.C. and New York, respectively.
The newscast moving to the Middle East comes as news continues to develop from the region. On Monday, President Donald Trump said he envisioned the situation continuing for four weeks, but will take as much time as needed to complete the military operations successfully in Iran.
