US-Iran Peace Deal Strains as Trump Requests $88 Billion for War Costs
Fragile peace negotiations between the United States and Iran faced immediate strain on June 24, 2026, just days after a preliminary framework agreement was reached. Major disagreements have emerged regarding the scope of nuclear inspections and the release of frozen Iranian assets. Concurrently, President Donald Trump requested $88 billion from Congress to cover previous military costs related to the conflict with Iran. These developments threaten to derail the 60-day roadmap intended to stabilize the Strait of Hormuz.
