President Trump announced that the U.S. and Iran had agreed to a two-week ceasefire that was contingent on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump set an 8 p.m. deadline for Iran to accept a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for the world's oil trade. Meanwhile, the Iranian regime called on young people to form human chains around the country's power plants. Liz Crawford has the latest from the Pulse Desk.
President Trump hailed the rescue of a U.S. airman who was missing almost two days inside Iran — and threatened to hit power plants if Iran doesn't reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump warned the U.S. "hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran," and previewed that strikes on bridges and power plants could be next.
Trump says he expects the U.S. war with Iran to end within several weeks despite unrelenting attacks from both sides and Iran's iron grip on the Strait of Hormuz.

With oil markets paralyzed by the U.S.-Iran war, the Trump administration says it could escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz — a massive undertaking that experts say could already be in the preparatory stages.

Iran's relentless attacks on Gulf states and infrastructure appear to be overshadowing interventions by the U.S. and its allies aimed at easing energy prices.
President Trump says he'll end the war soon, when he wants to, as Iran hits ships in and near the Strait of Hormuz and warns U.S.-linked banks will be next.
