Iran war: Peace talks show progress as shipping resumes in Strait of Hormuz | FOX 10 Phoenix

Both sides are reporting progress in ongoing peace talks regarding the war in Iran, with negotiators working toward a long-term agreement. As part of these strategic advancements, maritime ships are once again moving through the critical Strait of Hormuz. However, President Trump stated that the United States could quickly reimpose restrictions if Iran fails to follow through with its current commitments. This development comes as the Pentagon is asking Congress for about $80 billion to cover the total cost of the war, a major funding request that is already drawing explicit criticism from some Democrats. Meanwhile, Vice President J.D. Vance stated that Iran has officially agreed to allow International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors back into the country. Strategic analysts weigh in that the real test will center on what exact access those foreign inspectors are ultimately granted. Gen. Jack Keane (Ret.), a senior strategic analyst, noted that letting in the inspectors is a big deal, but emphasized that the true measure lies in what they are allowed to do once they enter. He also warned that they have been manipulated by Iran for years and suggested a crucial need for qualified United States inspectors. In related developments, President Trump is expected to meet with defense contractors tomorrow to help replenish weapon stockpiles depleted during the war, while key points of a permanent peace deal still remain undecided.
