## Resource

The President strikes a controversial deal with Iran that slashes uranium enrichment limits, guarantees safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz for two months, and lifts some sanctions—celebrated as a win for America but fiercely criticized by Republicans like Senator Bill Cassidy, who warns it empowers Iran, weakens allies, and even cites Reagan’s disappointment. The agreement, already signed electronically and set for a formal ceremony in Switzerland, includes Iran building new infrastructure—a major shift. Cassidy, who voted to impeach the President in 2021 and won’t return to the Senate next year, remains a vocal critic. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
