U.S., Iran hammer out initial peace deal. So what’s next? We hear from a foreign relations expert

The framework for an initial peace deal between the U.S. and Iran could reopen the Strait of Hormuz, ease pressure on global energy markets and open the window to negotiations concerning Iran’s nuclear program.

The agreement comes after a volatile final stretch.

It was hammered out by mediators who scrambled to avoid an Iranian attack on Israel. That would likely have generated a harsh Israeli response and potentially derailed the deal, but Tehran ended up holding off.

Osamah Khalil, an expert on U.S. foreign relations and the Middle East, joined us on The Morning Show to discuss what’s next.

Among the big questions is finding a solution to Iran’s nuclear program that’s mutually agreeable, and convincing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to buy in, which could be a tall order.
