President Donald Trump is setting the stage for an off-ramp from the Iran war, dispatching Vice President JD Vance to deliver an ultimatum to Tehran to make a deal or face attacks on key infrastructure.

Trump is scheduled to deliver a rare primetime address on Wednesday night as the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, with markets in turmoil and economic growth threatened worldwide.
