Trump Aides Reportedly Caught Off Guard by Announcement of Iran Deal

Several advisers to U.S. President Donald Trump were surprised when he announced that an agreement with Iran had been completed overnight between Saturday and Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing American officials.

According to the report, the advisers believed the deal’s terms were still under discussion and had not been finalized when Trump posted on his Truth social network that a “great agreement” had been reached.

Trump said the deal would bring “beautiful peace” to the region. The report does not say what the final terms are, only that aides were not expecting the announcement when it came.
