Why Any Plausible Iran Deal Is a Humiliation for Trump
The U.S. is reportedly close to a deal with Iran to end the ongoing conflict, which has resulted in significant casualties. The potential agreement may involve Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for sanctions relief and the U.S. ending its blockade. Analysts suggest that this deal could be seen as a strategic failure for the Trump administration, as it may strengthen Iranian hard-liners rather than weaken them.

- ▪The deal may involve Iran giving up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium in exchange for sanctions relief.
