President Trump on Sunday appeared to finally deliver what he’s been teasing now for weeks: A peace deal of some sort with Iran:
President Donald Trump says an agreement with Iran has been reached and that the US will end its naval blockade on the country. Tehran has not immediately confirmed the agreement. Key mediator Pakistan said an official signing ceremony will take place in Switzerland on Friday.
The signing of a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran is expected to kick off 60 more days of negotiation on ending the war. US and Iranian officials have issued conflicting messages on the terms of the agreement.
Earlier Sunday, Trump ripped Israel for launching more strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. Trump was reportedly ticked off at Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu for authorizing strikes and potentially killing the Iran agreement.
“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!” Trump declared in a Truth Social post.

Trump announced Sunday that an agreement with Iran has been reached and that the US will end its naval blockade on the country, marking the most significant development yet in months of negotiations.
Details of the agreement were not immediately released, and Tehran has not commented on the announcement.
The president said he was authorizing the immediate removal of the US naval blockade, writing, “Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!”
If this holds and Iran confirms, this is indeed good news. With the Iran war concluded, here’s hoping the president refocuses on the home front. We need him; we have midterms to win.
