As America’s war with Iran nears the six-month market, the midterm elections creep closer. U.S. President Donald Trump continues to defend the conflict that has embroiled his second term in office, but says he believes it will end “pretty soon.” Meanwhile, Iran and Oman are working towards a deal that would open up the Strait of Hormuz that would temporarily give Iran control of incoming ship traffic and oversight of outgoing traffic in the strategic waterway. Reggie Cecchini discusses this and more in This Week in Washington for Aug. 7, 2026.
