Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg spoke about the possibility of a second round of peace negotiations aimed at ending the conflict with Iran, while also addressing the consequences of the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz during an appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime.

He pointed to the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, noting that the U.S. blockade is placing increasing pressure on Iran’s economic and military capabilities, particularly given the waterway’s role in global oil shipments.
Kellogg suggested that the United States is leveraging both military strength and economic measures to push Iran toward negotiations, while maintaining a firm stance against what he described as destabilizing actions in the region.
