Critics in the president’s own party have sharply criticized the deal which includes a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran, a ceasefire and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Over the weekend, fighting in Lebanon and threats from Trump to “hit Iran very hard again” threatened the fragile detente. Will the peace hold? We’ll talk to experts about the deal with Iran and its implications.
