On Monday, President Donald Trump  said  the pause in fighting is on “life support,” calling Iran’s most recent response to a U.S. peace proposal unacceptable. Separately, the Strait of Hormuz remains mostly closed to commercial traffic, with the U.S. and Iran  exchanging fire  in the waterway last week.  Help us reach 100,000.
