Trump cautious on Iran deal

President Donald Trump has tempered expectations regarding an imminent peace deal with Iran, stating that negotiations are proceeding in an orderly manner but that he will not be rushed into a final signature.

The proposed framework reportedly involves Iran giving up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium in exchange for the reopening of the vital Strait of Hormuz to international shipping.

However, senior Republican lawmakers like Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham have warned that the current terms could be a disastrous mistake that leaves Tehran stronger.

Meanwhile, Iranian officials have signaled they view the negotiations as a victory, even as the U.S. maintains its blockade until a formal agreement is certified.
