## Resource

Following the 10-day ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, Iran says it has opened the Strait of Hormuz to all traffic, which prompts an all-caps "THANK YOU" from President Trump ... Trump continues his feud with Pope Leo, saying the pontiff needs to understand that this is the "real world" ... Todd Lyons, the acting director of ICE, announces he's stepping down. The controversial agency has been without a senate-confirmed leader since the Obama Administration. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
