The focus is very much the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S.

is saying its attacks on Iran are designed to make Tehran reopen the strait and stop attacking ships going through this vital waterway.

But as I said, there's just little sign that Iran is going to back down.

We know and we've seen this

From the start of this war in late February, Iran has a very high pain threshold.

There's a ton of pushback on the Hill for folks to have to use their IDs in order to vote, but it gives the Trump administration a lot of ammunition that this majority blue state is disclosing that there has been an issue where non-citizens have voted.

Both sides seem pretty entrenched in their positions.

None of them are backing down.

And there's certainly no sign that Iran is backing down in the face of Donald Trump's threat to escalate U.S.

So I think we could be in for several days more of skirmishing and strikes around the Persian Gulf.
