President Donald Trump expressed willingness to share the details of a new agreement with Iran with Congress, following bipartisan inquiries. This preliminary deal, announced digitally on Sunday, aims to extend the U.S.-Iran ceasefire for 60 days and establish a framework for future discussions regarding Iran's nuclear program.
While the specifics of the agreement remain undisclosed, Trump is expected to reveal more information on Friday. The reaction from Congress has been mixed, with some lawmakers, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, acknowledging the potential benefits of reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route that had been disrupted earlier this year.
Graham emphasized the importance of Congress's role in reviewing any nuclear deal with Iran. Vice President JD Vance noted that many details still need to be finalized, particularly regarding Iran's commitment to refrain from developing nuclear weapons.
Trump mentioned that shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is already beginning to resume, which he claims is leading to a decrease in oil prices. An official signing ceremony for the agreement is scheduled for Friday in Geneva, marking a potential turning point in U.S.-Iran relations and its implications for global energy markets
