## Resource

At the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine brief reporters on the escalating Iran conflict and tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, as questions grow about a collapsing ceasefire. At the same time, AAA reports gas prices jumping to $4.48 a gallon. Meanwhile, Donald Trump suggests elections could be rerun, while delivering shifting descriptions of the Iran conflict calling it a war, an “excursion,” and a “skirmish,” even as he insists it won’t escalate further. Part II: Donald Trump’s Iran war shuts down the Strait of Hormuz, triggering a global oil shock, economic collapse, and looming food crisis as experts warn of catastrophic consequences.
