Skeptical Republicans demand details of US-Iran outline peace deal

JD Vance says specifics to be worked out as Senate Republicans say there are many unanswered questions

Republicans have expressed tentative skepticism of the agreement Donald Trump has reached with Iran, and urged the White House to release more information.

The memorandum of understanding (MOU) announced on Sunday to end the war in Iran, set for a ceremonial signing on Friday in Geneva, is centered around reopening the strait of Hormuz and lifting the United States's naval blockade in the region, along with financial incentives for Iran if it meets certain benchmarks. Both Trump and JD Vance, the US vice-president, have digitally signed the document, along with Iran's parliamentary speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf on Tehran's behalf, a senior US official confirmed.
