According to Reuters, the three-and-a-half-month conflict has caused significant hardship and brought dangers from the Middle East to China and Russia. The ceasefire deal secures none of the U.S.'s original aims but opens a slim path to a safer world by clipping the wings of both the U.S. and Israel.
The agreement includes a $300 billion fund for Iran's reconstruction and economic development, as reported by Los Angeles Times. In exchange, Tehran will receive sanctions relief and agree to some limits on its nuclear enrichment activities. However, many senators have expressed skepticism about the deal, with some calling it a failure and others questioning the leverage gained.
The ceasefire has sparked debate in Congress, with members of both parties criticizing the administration's handling of the conflict and the terms of the agreement. Some Republicans support Trump's efforts, while others join Democrats in expressing concerns about the deal's provisions and the lack of congressional authorization for the war.
