President Donald Trump signaled Saturday that some kind of agreement with Iran \u201cwill be announced shortly,\u201d possibly bringing the 84-day military and economic conflict to an end.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries,\u201d Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, adding that details were still being finalized. \u201cIn addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump said he had spoken with leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain, as well as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel about the deal, and the calls had gone well.<\/p>\n

Speculation that a deal was imminent swirled earlier on Saturday as Trump huddled with his war cabinet at the White House after canceling plans to spend the weekend at his Bedminster, N.J., golf club and skipping his eldest son\u2019s wedding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time,\u201d Trump wrote on social media Friday, shortly before the White House officially changed his weekend schedule. Trump did not elaborate on why he was returning to Washington Friday evening after a campaign stop for GOP Rep. Mike Lawler in southern New York state, nor did he address the situation during the rally.<\/p>\n

\u201cI built the greatest military my first four years, and I didn\u2019t know I was going to be using it this much, but we\u2019re using it. And there\u2019s nobody like our equipment,\u201d Trump told supporters in Rockland County.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The commander in chief used several sets of public remarks this week to both float the notion that a deal could be coming soon and to threaten to restart U.S. military strikes inside Iran.<\/p>\n

He struck that tone again on Friday in the Empire State.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIran, their navy\u2019s gone, their air force is gone, everything\u2019s gone, their leaders are gone. And if you read the fake news, you\u2019d think they\u2019re doing just fine. They\u2019re not doing just fine,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThey want to settle so badly. We have the greatest military.\u201d<\/p>\n

The expected announcement of a deal comes as the Iran conflict and Trump\u2019s handling of it have become unpopular in the U.S. Multiple polls show Trump is underwater with voters over the war and its economic tentacles, stemming from higher gasoline and diesel prices due to Iran essentially closing the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy transitway.<\/p>\n

Skepticism and concern<\/h2>\n

Media reports pointed to a potential memorandum of understanding as the most likely first announcement from the U.S., Iran and Pakistan, which has been the leading go-between trying to bring the two warring sides to a resolution.<\/p>\n

But some Trump supporters on Saturday took to social media to warn against the framework being bandied in some circles on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rumored 60-day ceasefire \u2014 with the belief that Iran will ever engage in good faith \u2014 would be a disaster,\u201d Senate Armed Services Chairman Roger Wicker, R-Miss., wrote on X. \u201cEverything accomplished by Operation Epic Fury would be for naught!\u201d<\/p>\n

Longtime Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., also voiced concerns.<\/p>\n

He worried that a deal with Iran could be perceived by other countries in the region to have allowed the Iranian regime to survive and become more powerful over time.<\/p>\n

\u201cA deal that is perceived to allow Iran to survive and possess the ability to control the Strait in the future will put Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Shia militias in Iraq on steroids,\u201d he posted on X.<\/p>\n

Notably, Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chair Mark Warner, D-Va., told CQ Roll Call on Thursday that, given how the conflict has played out, any pact Trump might reach with Tehran would likely be substantively below that of the deal brokered by the Obama administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no way, without massive numbers of troops on the ground, to reclaim the enriched uranium,\u201d Warner said. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen a leadership [in Iran] that\u2019s more radical than before. The straits [of Hormuz], we\u2019ve shown how vulnerable they are. And unfortunately, you\u2019ve seen the missile capacity that\u2019s been taken out wasn\u2019t near what we said.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, it may be the best we can do is to get observers back on the ground and a chance to monitor so that they would promise no further enrichment \u2014 but that would mean we would be back in a circumstance potentially not even as good as the JCPOA,\u201d he said, using shorthand for the now-sacked Iran nuclear deal reached by the Obama administration, formerly known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because \u201cit won\u2019t have groups like Russia and China as part of the [enrichment] monitoring group \u2014 and that\u2019s after 14 Americans died, billions of dollars spent,\u201d Warner added. \u201cThe president could declare victory tomorrow, and there\u2019s still going to be gas prices that will get above five bucks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Dubowitz, a prominent voice on Iran and the chief executive of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a nonpartisan Washington-based think tank that is viewed as hawkish and right-of-center, said on X Saturday that the rumored deal under consideration is \u201cmuch worse\u201d than the 15-point plan proposed by Trump in March.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf President Trump agrees to a 60-day ceasefire extension based on vague Iranian promises to \u2018discuss\u2019 nuclear issues, it\u2019s game over. That pushes the crisis into late July or early August, when major military operations become far less likely ahead of the midterms,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

If the U.S. cedes its military leverage, Iran will not agree to meaningful concessions related to its nuclear weapons program or restrictions on its ballistic missiles, said Dubowitz, a critic of the JCPOA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTehran will have won at the negotiating table what it lost on the battlefield,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
