Trump claims Iran deal is ‘unconditional surrender,’ says his power has ‘no limits’: Axios
The interim pact includes a 60-day ceasefire and a $300 billion reconstruction fund, drawing criticism from Republicans over its financial terms.

- The agreement includes a 60-day ceasefire and a framework for nuclear negotiations, though Republicans and Democrats have expressed concern regarding terms that could provide financial relief to Iran.
