Kamala Harris said in Vienna that Trump’s emerging Iran agreement is a "war of choice" and predicted Republicans will pay politically in the November midterms.
A 60-day negotiating period sits at the center of the memorandum, which administration officials say would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and force Iran to halt nuclear weapons work and support for terrorism.
Harris argued Trump will declare victory on a weak framework resembling the Obama-era nuclear deal he abandoned, reviving a fight over which approach better restrained Iran.
$500 in extra costs for the average American since the war began became Harris’s main economic attack line, even as Trump officials say the deal should bring gas-price relief this summer.
Oil already fell to its lowest level since early March after news of a preliminary U.S.-Iran agreement, underscoring how the deal’s success could shape both energy prices and the midterm debate.
