The Disappearing Reappearing Iran Deal

In response to hawkish critics of the reported outlines of a memorandum of understanding with Iran, President Trump said he doesn't cut bad deals. Well, okay, but how about middling deals after an adversary seizes a strategic asset that we haven't managed to take back?

Negotiations remain in flux and are the subject of leaks and counter-leaks, but reports indicate that the U.S. and Iran have been closing in on a deal to trade our blockade of Iran for a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, with a continuation of the cease-fire for 60 days to allow more time for nuclear negotiations.
