VP Vance calls it a win-win: Iran gets economic relief if it cooperates, or the U.S. remains strong with Iran’s nuclear and military power already weakened. The deal halts hostilities that began February 28th — costing 13 U.S. troops and thousands of civilians — and forces Israel to stop bombing Hezbollah in Lebanon. President Trump signed it unexpectedly at a state dinner in France, touting stock market gains and falling oil prices as proof of his tough stance. Iranian President Pezeshkian hailed it as a triumph of resilience and diplomacy. But critics, including some in Trump’s own party, call it a dangerous mistake, warning Iran’s nuclear ambitions remain unchecked and that threatening Hormuz is a tactic they’ve learned to exploit. The next 60 days will decide if this fragile truce can deliver real peace — or collapse under pressure. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
