Oil prices are likely to continue declining, potentially to $50/barrel by year-end, driven by Trump's need for lower energy prices ahead of midterms, increased US supply, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Natural gas has led the way down. The US no longer needs the Strategic Petroleum Reserve due to its domestic surplus. Gasoline prices should follow crude lower, potentially below $3/gallon.

Israel is deeply skeptical of the US-Iran MOU, which does not address core Israeli security goals: ending Iran's nuclear program, stopping ballistic missiles, or halting support for terror proxies. Israel was not consulted and feels no obligation to the deal. The US and Israeli interests are diverging, and Israel will continue to defend itself independently, even at the cost of friction with the US.

Davis argues Israel has a survival mentality and will keep fighting regardless of US support. He sees the Georgia Senate primary as a key test of Trump's influence vs. Governor Kemp's popularity. He notes that midterms are hard to predict due to low turnout, and Trump's endorsement of Collins gives him an advantage, but Kemp's support for Dooley makes it a real race.

Congresswoman McClellan is highly skeptical of the US-Iran MOU, noting conflicting statements from US and Iranian officials and the lack of detail on key issues like nuclear inspections and sanctions relief. She questions the value of a deal that leaves Iran able to disrupt global trade. On FISA 702, she supports extension but only with reforms to close loopholes that allow spying on American citizens.
