US President Donald Trump struck an optimistic tone as he arrived in France for the 2026 G7 Summit, insisting that a peace agreement between the United States and Iran is moving forward after months of conflict in West Asia. The proposed deal comes after nearly three months of hostilities and is expected to end military tensions, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and pave the way for a phased easing of sanctions on Tehran. However, despite Trump's confidence, doubts remain within his own administration and across Capitol Hill.

Senior national security officials have reportedly questioned whether Iran intends to honour key commitments contained in the agreement, particularly those related to its nuclear programme. While supporters of the negotiations argue that the deal could help stabilise the region and reduce the risk of further confrontation, critics from both parties have expressed worry about enforcement, compliance, and the lack of publicly available details regarding the final terms.
