Middle East latest: Trump makes peace pact announcement with Iran

We are now learning the latest out of the Middle East as the United States and Iran officially reached a peace accord on Sunday, indicating all military operations between the two nations will end immediately. President Donald Trump confirmed the agreement in a post that also indicated the Strait of Hormuz will reopen and the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports will be lifted. LiveNOW’s Shawna Khalafi is learning more about potential next steps for the deal with Gil Barndollar from Defense Priorities.
