GOP sets Labor Day as deadline to wrap up Iran war amid midterm pressure

Republican leaders and strategists are signaling Labor Day as a hard deadline to resolve the Iran war as midterm politics tighten and economic pain from gas prices grows; a White House official says a preliminary deal to end the war could be near, but past tensions show such agreements aren’t guaranteed.
