Iran war: Trump's series of unenforced deadlines
President Trump has set multiple deadlines for Iran to negotiate an end to the ongoing war.

The situation has led to significant economic impacts at home, including rising inflation driven by fuel costs.

- ▪Trump has demanded that Iran open the Strait of Hormuz and turn over enriched uranium to prevent nuclear weapon development.
- ▪The latest inflation report indicates prices are at a three-year high, largely due to fuel cost spikes from the Strait of Hormuz closure.
