## Resource

Iran has spent weeks delaying, provoking, and negotiating while avoiding a final resolution. Victor Davis Hanson examines why Tehran may be trying to buy time, how rising energy prices are affecting the U.S. economy, and why President Trump faces growing pressure to resolve the standoff before the midterm elections. As tensions continue in the Strait of Hormuz, Israel, Kuwait, and the Gulf states, Hanson explains the choices facing the Trump administration and what could happen if Iran refuses to comply with U.S. demands. 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
