Chevron CorpPresident Donald Trump has begun a public relations campaign to sell the Iran war ceasefire deal to skeptical Americans, as polls show 60% of voters believe the war was not worth it and 59% lack confidence the agreement will work. To deflect criticism that the deal unlocks billions in frozen funds for Tehran, the White House devised a provision requiring Iran to use the money to buy US agricultural goods, though Tehran says it has not agreed to those purchases. Trump has touted the deal at events in Pennsylvania and Washington, claiming oil prices will fall, but gasoline prices may not drop to pre-crisis levels until late 2026, after the midterm elections. The administration plans a full-scale campaign once the deal is finalized, while Democrats struggle with internal divisions that may blunt their attacks. The fragile ceasefire was tested this week when the US struck Iran after a commercial ship was hit in the Strait of Hormuz, and negotiators remain at odds over transit fees and Iran’s nuclear program.
