The countries of Israel and Lebanon have reached a temporary ceasefire, potentially leading to further long-term peace between the United States and Iran. President Trump announced the agreement on social media late this morning, saying the 10-day ceasefire would begin this evening. The developments come after Iran insisted that strikes on Lebanon must stop as part of any longer-term deal for peace with the U.S. and Israel. In these Deep Dive, Maria Shilaos discusses the news and what it could mean as the U.S. works towards an end to the conflict with Iran. She's joined by Amos Guiora, a law professor at the University of Utah who has close ties and connections to Israel.
The famous Big Boy steam engine is about to roll into Ogden for a multi-day stop over. The engine usually tours around the western U.S. nearly every summer. But in honor of the country's 250th birthday, Union Pacific is sending the engine from coast-to-coast. It chugged through Utah earlier this month on its way to California, but that was just a quick stop. This weekend, it'll be in Ogden for a few days to give train fans young and old the opportunity to get up close and personal with the massive historic steam engine. For more on this event, Maria Shilaos speaks with Ed Dickens, chief locomotive engineer on Big Boy. For more information on the famous steam engine and its trip across the country for the United States' 250th birthday, visit https://www.up.com/about-us/history/steam/schedule. Joining me to talk more about the event is Ed Dickens... the chief locomotive engineer on Big Boy.

Since the war in Iran began 6 weeks ago, the world has seen a huge spike in the cost for a slew of things, including gasoline, diesel, plastics, and fertilizer -- all things that relied heavily on the Strait of Hormuz being open. The biggest cost most Utahns have seen is with gas and diesel. And with the amount of goods transported thanks to gasoline and diesel, the costs have or will trickle-down to almost everything we use every single day. In this Deep Dive -- The Cost of Conflict -- Maria Shilaos looks at the costs of the War in Iran on American families, Utah small business owners, and the job market as a whole. She's joined in this discussion by: Liz Pancotti, managing director of Policy and Advocacy at Groundwork Collaborative President Mary C. Daly, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Cory Stahle, economist at the Indeed Hiring Lab
