On this West Virginia Morning, with the war in Iran now in its second month, many questions remain about the motivations for and the objectives of the conflict.

Ace Parsi’s family left Iran for the U.S. because of the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s. He shared his perspective on the situation with reporter Chris Schulz.

Parsi is also running for Congress in West Virginia’s second district.

Also, there are yard signs, candidate forums and ads for candidates out, but if you’re not sure exactly who you can vote for, there is a tool.

And, Thanksgiving is more than seven months away. But starting this weekend turkeys across the state have reason to hide.
