UNDATED-AP- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces a new round of questioning from lawmakers over the Iran war, including some Republicans who’ve expressed concerns over the length of the conflict and its lack of congressional approval. President Donald Trump is facing increasing pressure from the economic shocks of Iran effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping corridor where 20% of the world’s oil normally flows. Trump said Monday (May 11, 2026) that the ceasefire is on “massive life support” and criticized Iran for its latest proposal, pointing to his demands that Iran significantly limit its nuclear program.
