President Donald Trump has defended the peace deal he says the U.S. is nearing with Iran following backlash from hardliner Republican lawmakers saying the agreement would appear to be weaker than what was established before the war.
Reported elements of the draft agreement so far suggest that the U.S. and Iran could agree to end the war without immediately addressing Iran's nuclear program - which had been one of the justifications the White House had raised for launching the war in February.
Critics, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, say such an arrangement would not be "America First" and that it appeared similar to the Obama-era nuclear deal, which Trump withdrew from in his first term in office.
But the new wrinkle is the demand that Muslim nations involved in the deal must normalize with Israel. Another "Look, I want to give Iran the deal they want but you guys have to play ball" moment.

Trump knows a simple agreement which allows Iran to claim victory will destroy him. He needs something he can bring home to claim success.
