Summary

This week on Face the Nation, Vice President Vance returns to the U.S. empty handed following a marathon session of peace talks with Iranian leaders. What's next in the now 44-day war that has sent gas prices soaring around the world? Will the fragile two week ceasefire hold? And what exactly is President Trump's goal in the conflict? We hear from the Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Leiter, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee Mark Warner and Republican Congressman Mike Turner. We also take a closer look at the war's impact on the global economy with the head of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva. Plus, hear the results of our latest CBS News poll.
