President Donald Trump is working with right-wing influencers and media figures aligned with the Make America Great Again movement to build support within the Republican Party for a potential nuclear agreement with Iran. The White House has also encouraged Republican lawmakers to publicly back the emerging deal, though some have voiced concern about defending it when they return to Washington.

Trump has projected confidence in the negotiations, insisting that any agreement would be stronger than the one reached under former President Barack Obama. A senior White House official emphasized that there would be no deal unless Iran fully addresses its enriched uranium stockpile, saying the sides are close to a framework but that final details remain unresolved.

The administration is framing the agreement as part of a broader regional strategy, potentially expanding normalization efforts between Israel and Arab states. Senator Lindsey Graham said that if countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan join these efforts, the agreement could become one of the most consequential in Middle East history.

Still, some Republicans worry that Iran could emerge strategically stronger, particularly regarding control of the Strait of Hormuz. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has presented a united front with Trump, stressing that any final deal must dismantle Iran's enrichment sites and remove nuclear material, while the White House maintains that military options remain available if talks fail.
