Despite a promising few initial weeks, the Iran ceasefire appears to have
totally collapsed following Iranian airstrikes on a U.S. aircraft carrier. With
hostilities resuming, the conflict appears poised for escalation, with President Trump even musing about potential military action on Kharg Island.

FOX News Political Analyst Guy Benson, FOX News Senior Political Analyst Juan Williams, and Axios Political Reporter Stef Kight join to discuss the consequences of the Iran ceasefire’s collapse, both in the Middle East and back here at home. They also take a look at President Trump’s new manufacturing agreement with Ukraine and whether it could spell new hope in their defense against Russia.

beauty, there lies generations of leaders who have fought tooth and nail to preserve them. Those efforts are still ongoing today.
