Democracy Now!
Summary
The article covers a framework agreement between the U.S. and Iran extending a ceasefire by 60 days, with Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. lifting its naval blockade. It features analysis from Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute, who discusses Israeli opposition to the deal and the need for Trump to pressure Israel. The article also addresses a recent Free Press article claiming the State Department opened a probe into Parsi that could lead to his deportation, which the State Department denied having plans to pursue.

· 3 pulledThe Israelis are trying to destroy this deal, and they will continue to try. It will require persistent, consistent pressure by Trump on the Israelis in order to hold them back.
I do believe that there were elements inside the State Department that wanted to move in this direction. They thought that this hit piece would help move things forward, but I think, frankly, it backfired.
The State Department had no plans to revoke the green card of Mr. Parsi at this time.
