Vice President JD Vance is traveling to Switzerland this Friday to sign a tentative deal to end the war with Iran. The specifics of this agreement remain unclear. With the announcement to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump said Friday is the day merchant ships can once again sail unimpeded through the major waterway. But questions still linger regarding how quickly commercial vessels can resume their journeys and whether Iran will permit free passage through this international waterway. Around 1,500 ships remain stranded inside the Persian Gulf, awaiting clearance to leave, according to industry analysts.

Trump faced a rare defeat in primary endorsements yesterday as Georgia Republicans chose billionaire healthcare executive Rick Jackson as the party's nominee for governor . Jackson defeated GOP Lt.

Jon Ossoff, won his two-candidate runoff, according to the Associated Press. The Collins-Ossoff matchup is poised to be nationally watched as both major political parties compete for control of the Senate. Take a look at Georgia's 2026 primary election results here .
