Iran Hawks Side-Eye Trump’s Deal
Iran's hardliners are expressing skepticism regarding former President Donald Trump's potential deal with the country, a move that could lead to significant domestic political pressure on Trump.

Their criticism is expected to resonate most strongly within Iran's political establishment, potentially undermining Trump's diplomatic efforts.

This internal opposition could complicate Trump's broader foreign policy objectives and his ability to secure a lasting agreement.
