Iran Deal

President Trump said Saturday that a peace agreement “has been largely negotiated” to end the 86-day war with Iran.

The deal outlines a 60-day ceasefire extension, during which:

• The Strait of Hormuz would reopen without tolls, easing the global oil-supply strain 
• The U.S. would unblock Iranian ports and waive sanctions, allowing Iran to sell oil
• Tehran would give up its highly enriched uranium and agree to negotiate its nuclear program’s future.

Several hawkish Republicans criticized the emerging deal, saying it was similar to the Obama-era Iran agreement that Trump called one of the “worst deals ever made.” The White House denied any similarity and said it wouldn’t “rush into a deal.”

Iranian officials haven’t publicly commented. Both President Trump and Iran’s Supreme Leader must sign off on any deal, which could take days.

Verse to consider whether you’re working toward the end of a conflict in your own life or enjoying a season of peace… “Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in everything; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus… Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. And may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will do it.”
