- The Iran ceasefire expires as Trump weighs his next move, while the segment warns that a prolonged war could become a major liability for Republicans with just 78 days until the midterms. …
The 60-day US-Iran ceasefire under the June memorandum ended on August 17, 2026, with no extension or successor deal, so the claim that it had expired is supported as of the claim's date.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
