News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Karen Moscow. The wait for an Iran-Oman deal that partially reopens the Strait of Hormuz continues. This after the Islamic Republic said an agreement on proposed shipping lanes was in the final stages. We get more on the deal with Mark Champion who covers the Middle East for a Bloomberg opinion.
To the best of our knowledge, it will identify a temporary channel for a period, perhaps 40 days, in which shipping traffic will be able to go back and forth through Hormuz and, you know, sort of more or less opening up the strait. And there'll be an agreement in principle on the collection of fees. and on control, where the Iranians would control traffic going into the strait close to their shores. The Omanis on the other side would control traffic going out.
And that's Bloomberg's Mark Champion, who says U.S. officials have said there won't be any tolls imposed in the Strait. Meanwhile, President Trump is denying that the U.S. is running low on munitions. This is after The Washington Post reported he clashed with Defense Secretary Pete Hankseth at Camp David last week about shortages of long-range guided missiles and air defense interceptors. In a Truth Social post, the president said the U.S. has massive amounts of munitions and the, quote, leakers of these treasonous statements are being hunted down. President Trump unleashed a torrent of criticism against Michigan progressive Abdul Al-Sayed after his close Democratic Senate primary win over moderate Haley Stevens.
Bloomberg's David Gurra reports it highlights the stakes in a race that could determine control of Capitol Hill in November.
President Trump, Republicans, Democrats as well are looking at that race as what kind of bellwether it might be for the Democratic Party going forward here. And of course, he's a progressive candidate. Saeed El-Sayed is a progressive candidate who's embraced a lot of the totems of that movement, including Medicare for All. uh critical of funding for for israel uh and so progressives who have been watching this closely say look this is a sign that this is where the democratic party is headed and i think republicans are for the most part relishing the fact that there is this infighting within the democratic party over over its direction here
And that's Bloomberg's David Gurra reporting al-Sayed will face Republican Mike Rogers in November.
What are the key details of the Iran‑Oman Hormuz Strait deal and its impact on shipping?
The Washington Post reporting that President Trump recently told donors in private that he wants to see his vice president win the 2028 presidential election. Citing people familiar with the matter, the Post reports that the president said, quote, at the end of the day, we need to elect J.D. Vance has not commented on his plans. A Senate committee is set to vote today on whether to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress and refer him to the Justice Department for potential prosecution. This is over his refusal to answer questions at a hearing last week focused on his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Italy has placed all major cities under the highest heat alert as Europe faces a severe heat wave.
This extreme weather has set a national temperature record in Austria, fueled wildfires in France and disrupted energy and transport systems across the continent. Meanwhile, New York City and the U.S. East Coast are set for some hot and sticky weather over the next two days, boosting cooling demand from homes and businesses. Temperatures in Central Park will climb to near 90 degrees Fahrenheit, but with the humidity, it's going to feel closer to 102, according to the National Weather Service.
