President Donald Trump expressed confidence that any deal his administration negotiates with Iran will be a 'good and proper one,' contrasting it with the previous agreement made under President Obama in 2015. Trump criticized the earlier deal for allegedly providing Iran with a substantial financial windfall and a pathway to develop nuclear weapons. Reports suggest that the U.S. and Iran are nearing an agreement that would involve lifting a naval blockade on Iranian ports in exchange for Iran disposing of its stockpiles of highly enriched uranium. The ongoing conflict has had severe humanitarian consequences, with reports indicating that 1,701 civilians have died in Iran since the start of hostilities, including at least 254 children. While some lawmakers, such as Senator Thom Tillis, have raised concerns about the terms of the proposed deal and the lack of Congressional oversight, others, like Senator Rand Paul, have urged critics to allow Trump the opportunity to negotiate a resolution. The situation remains fluid as both sides work towards a potential agreement.
