Buck Brief - Trump Just Blew Through the 60-Day Iran Deadline

The 60-day deadline on the U.S.-Iran agreement has officially expired, and there’s still no final deal. Buck Sexton breaks down what happens next as tensions over Iran’s nuclear program remain unresolved, disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz continue, and higher energy prices put pressure on American consumers. With both sides accusing the other of violating the agreement, Buck explains why this could turn into a prolonged war of economic attrition, what it means for Trump’s strategy toward Iran, and how rising oil prices and inflation could become a major issue heading into the midterms.
