A two-week ceasefire has paused Middle East conflict, but both Trump and Iran are already declaring victory.

Bill Kelly opens by announcing a two-week ceasefire in the Middle East involving Iran and the United States, with both Donald Trump and Iran declaring victory on social media. He immediately addresses consumer expectations, stating gas prices won't decrease soon due to market dynamics described as the 'rocket feather theory' by MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhl. Kelly notes ongoing damage to oil infrastructure from recent missile strikes will take years to repair. He examines the ceasefire's ten-point plan, highlighting key points like Iran's demand for a permanent end to war and lifting of U.S. sanctions. Kelly expresses skepticism about the ceasefire holding, citing continued conflict between Israel and Lebanon. A major focus is Iran's new control over the Strait of Hormuz, including a $2 million fee per ship that could generate $3.6 billion in two weeks, with revenue supposedly shared with Oman for reconstruction. He critiques Trump's leadership, noting shifting priorities during the six-week conflict and failure to halt Iran's nuclear program, which still holds 975 pounds of enriched uranium. Kelly argues Iran emerged strengthened with sanctions lifted and strategic control, while U.S. global standing has diminished due to perceived military mistakes. The episode concludes by questioning whether negotiations will yield long-term solutions or simply return to pre-ceasefire tensions, emphasizing economic impacts on consumers.
