Trump’s Iran deal claim hits reality: a fragile framework, not a signature

Slate’s Fred Kaplan argues that Trump’s claim the deal with Iran is ‘complete’ is premature: the arrangement is only a frame with a 60‑day window to resolve major issues—ceasefire terms, sanctions relief, nuclear enrichment details, and control of the Strait of Hormuz—while Israel’s nonparticipation and domestic U.S. politics complicate any durable agreement; both sides have incentives to claim victory, making a true resolution far from guaranteed.
