Trump Says Iran Deal Done, Turning Attention Back to Russia at G7

President Trump stated that a short-term deal with Iran is complete, shifting his focus back to Russia and Ukraine ahead of the G7 summit. Evelyn Farkas, executive director of the McCain Institute, suggested that the United States could incentivize further negotiations with Iran by unfreezing some assets that were seized during the conflict. This potential asset release would follow the signing of a short-term agreement aimed at extending a ceasefire and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Farkas also commented on the current state of Russia, asserting that the nation is militarily, economically, and politically weaker than it has ever been. Trump's remarks were made in discussions with French President Emmanuel Macron.
