## Resource

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: How long will the Iran ceasefire hold: Less than six months, six months to a year, or more than a year? Michael examines the newly signed U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement and asks the question at the center of today’s poll: how durable is this peace? He reviews key provisions of the memorandum of understanding, highlights concerns raised by critics, and explains why he believes the ceasefire is likely to last more than a year. The conversation explores unresolved issues involving Israel, Hezbollah, frozen Iranian assets, the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Plus, Michael reflects on the political fallout surrounding the agreement and what it could mean heading into the midterm elections. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
