Trump Hails Record Stock Highs and Falling Oil Prices After Iran Accord

President Donald Trump credited a preliminary Iran agreement with boosting U.S. markets and easing fuel costs. He pointed to the Dow closing near 52,000 points and oil slipping below $75 a barrel as signs of “real leadership.” The accord, quietly mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, reopens the Strait of Hormuz, lifts select sanctions, and sets a 60-day window for formal nuclear talks. A signing ceremony is planned in Switzerland this Friday. Responses in Washington are mixed. Republican hawks argue the concessions are too broad, while some Democrats question the deal’s enforcement. In Tehran, hardliners denounce the framework as a U.S. capitulation.
