US and Iran inch closer to peace deal as Trump faces criticism from GOP hawks
Iran's supreme leader and national security council must approve the proposed peace deal with the US, which is still pending clarification of a few clauses. The deal reportedly includes sanctions relief for Iran and the unlocking of frozen assets in exchange for Iran reopening the strait of Hormuz and negotiating its nuclear program. US President Donald Trump stated that the agreement has been largely negotiated and will be finalized soon, despite ongoing concerns from Israel and other regional allies.
