Democrats and Republicans pressed Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff in the first all-member briefings on President Trump’s Iran deal, seeking clarity on potential oil-sanctions relief and Iran’s prospective revenue. Officials said the memorandum of understanding is meant to kick off negotiations toward a final agreement to curb Iran’s highly enriched uranium and reduce leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, while noting talks would involve allied partners and address concerns about a reconstruction fund and financial benefits to Tehran.
