Why a Two-Week Ceasefire Might Not Stop the Conflict In Iran

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

President Trump has announced a two-week ceasefire in Operation Epic Fury, halting U.S. strikes on Iran to pursue a diplomatic resolution. But with the Strait of Hormuz still in flux and Iran pushing a controversial 10-point plan, is "mowing the grass" enough to secure long-term peace? Former CIA Chief of Station and FOX News Contributor Dan Hoffman joins the Rundown to break down why he's pessimistic about the grueling negotiations ahead. The market remains uncertain as investors look toward an eight-week deadline to secure a multi-country deal to stabilize the Strait of Hormuz. But has this conflict finally revealed where the real value lies for investors in the age of artificial intelligence? Shark Tank investor & O’Leary Ventures Chairman Kevin O’Leary joins to discuss his pivot toward the physical infrastructure of the AI boom and why he believes the current global landscape has changed the rules for every business and investor. Plus, commentary by "Ruthless" co-host John Ashbrook. PHOTO CREDIT: NASA Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
