Trump defends Iran deal after markets forced his hand
US President Donald Trump defended the Iran deal, which includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz and a $300 billion reconstruction fund in exchange for unfreezing Iranian assets and diluting enriched uranium. The deal is seen as a gamble on Iran's economic progress over nuclear development, with US officials warning either side could withdraw and Trump threatening military action if Iran misbehaves.
