  • Negotiations remain stuck over the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions, and enriched uranium, with Trump claiming Iran was "negotiating on fumes" and warning the U.S. would "finish the job" if unsatisfied.

  • Current polling shows Democrats leading Republicans by 5 points with 46 percent support versus 41 percent, positioning them favorably as the midterms approach in 160 days.
