Trump gathers Cabinet as he looks to seal deal to end war that some backers worry will embolden Iran

Summary

President Donald Trump is meeting with his Cabinet to discuss a possible deal aimed at ending the conflict with Iran. The talks focus on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and reducing Iran’s nuclear materials, but key issues remain unresolved and some Republican supporters worry the deal might strengthen Iran’s position.

Key Facts

  • Some uranium might be diluted or transferred to another country during a 60-day follow-up period.
  • The U.S. carried out strikes on Iranian missile sites and boats recently, which Iran called “bad faith.”
  • Several Republican senators are concerned the deal is too favorable to Iran and resembles the old nuclear agreement scrapped by Trump.

  • The outcome of the deal may affect U.S. politics ahead of midterm elections, with worries about rising fuel costs and public opinion.
