Iran war: US, Iran announce tentative peace deal

06/15/2026 June 15, 2026 US lawmakers cautious over deal details While the announcement of the peace agreement between Iran and the US was widely welcomed by Republicans, some lawmakers within Trump's party voiced concern over a lack of details on what the deal entails. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who has taken a hardline stance on Iran, said he would be "watching closely" to see how negotiations develop surrounding Iran's nuclear program.
"I am somewhat concerned that Iran's view of the agreement seems different than what the American negotiating team is claiming," Graham wrote in a post on X. "Time will tell," he added. The agreement faced particular scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers, who have sharply criticized the war and its economic impact.
Gregory Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, criticized the war as "misguided and detrimental" to US interests, but welcomed the Trump administration's "turn toward diplomacy." "Any
final agreement must be durable, enforceable, transparent, and subject to rigorous oversight by Congress. The American people deserve more than vague announcements or political spin," he said in a statement.
