However...
After this 60 days of negotiation and where they'll discuss in more detail what happens to some of the uranium that Iran has, the situation around the Strait of Hormuz is still up for debate, i.e.
the Iranians are saying they will impose a toll on ships using the strait.
And that is something that has never happened before.
And that is something that nobody across the world will want.
Certainly not many of the Americans that have been coming out criticizing this deal.
And you mentioned criticism from some of Donald Trump's close allies.
Will that concern the president at the moment?
Well, I think for him, he was under pressure really to get this deal done in some form.
This was a conflict that was resoundedly across the U.S., found unfavorable by so much of the public and even more so China.
at a time when inflation is rising at its fastest rate for three years, and also then, obviously, gas, oil, petrol, diesel prices skyrocketing because of the strait being closed, the key conduit for 20% of the world's oil and liquefied gas.
So he was under public pressure back here, although he has never kind of really shown that, really.
But I think he was growing increasingly frustrating over the last week.
with conflicts between Israel and Hezbollah in South Lebanon, and tit-for-tat between his US blockade and Iran, really.
So he really needed to get it done.
And he will look at this as a victory, even though he is being questioned by some from his own party back at home.
Thomas Morgan.
So how is this deal being viewed by Tehran?
Kashayar Junaidi is from our Persian service, and he's based in the US.
And a lot, of course, could change during the negotiations, this initial 60-day period, which has already started.
