Waltz hedges on Iran deal timing while praising progress

UN Ambassador Mike Waltz praised the nearing Iran deal but would not confirm when it would be signed, saying the administration intends to get it done while highlighting Iran’s leadership and internal disagreements as a complicating factor. He called the agreement a strong memorandum with many details to be worked out in the next round. Trump touted a deal, while Obama expressed skepticism about improvements over the 2015 agreement. If signed, the pact could end months of U.S.-Iran conflict and potentially reopen the Strait of Hormuz, influencing global oil markets.
