United Nations Ambassador Mike Waltz praised the waiting-to-be-finalized Iran deal on Sunday, though he refrained from saying when the agreement would be signed. In an interview with ABC’s “This Week,” Waltz said Iranian officials have agreed to key demands from the U.S. — such as a commitment to the elimination of its highly enriched uranium — but refused to confirm if the deal would be signed Sunday as President Donald Trump said it would be when he announced an agreement Saturday. He also hedged a bit as to whether all of Iran’s leadership had approved the planned deal. “The Iranians are incredibly difficult negotiators, coupled with the fact that they’re having a very hard time getting guidance from their supreme leader, and they’re not always on the same page within their team, between the civilians and military,” Waltz told host Martha Raddatz. “I don’t want to get ahead of the president or the vice president, but they have every intent of getting this done today,” he added. Waltz called the agreement a “strong deal” even as he issued a caveat that much remains to be worked out in the future: “This is a memorandum of understanding. A lot of these details are going to be worked out as we go forward into the next round of negotiation.” President Donald Trump announced a deal Saturday in a post to Truth Social. Iran has not confirmed a deal has been reached, but Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Friday that a deal “has never been closer.” If signed, however, it could end months of conflict between the U.S. and Iran. It could also mean the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz — a critical waterway that Iran has effectively shut down. Some 20 percent of the world’s oil normally travels through the strait, but under Iranian control, few tankers have made it through, causing oil prices to skyrocket over the last several months. Though Trump offered few details on the deal, Waltz on Sunday said Iranian officials have agreed to “walk away” uranium enrichment and end their support for “terrorist proxies” from “the Houthis to Hezbollah to Hamas, to the militias in Iraq that have killed American soldiers, my friends and colleagues, and the veterans for many decades.” Still, early criticism is rising. In an interview scheduled to air Wednesday, former President Barack Obama told ABC’s Robin Roberts that it’s “doubtful” that any agreement Trump makes will be significantly different or a significant improvement from the deal that his administration had negotiated with Iran in 2015. Trump withdrew the United States from that agreement in 2018. “I’m hopeful that bombing stops and ordinary people are no longer suffering as a consequence of the war,” Obama said. “In retrospect, it’s a reminder that on a lot of difficult foreign policy problems, the notion that we can just bully our way or bomb our way to solutions may sometimes seem appealing, but the fact of the matter is that taking the time to explore diplomacy and exhaust the possibilities of coming up with deals that don’t solve 100 percent of the problem, but solve 80, 90 percent of the problem.” Waltz pushed back on Obama’s remarks, arguing that Iranian officials could “delay” under the Obama deal. Under the new agreement, Waltz said, there would be no ”massive loopholes.”

Swiss voters on Sunday rejected a proposal to limit the country’s population to 10 million by 2050, according to the preliminary results of a divisive referendum billed by some as the country’s Brexit moment. Around 54 percent of those who cast ballots voted against the initiative, with 25 of the country’s 26 canton regions reporting results. The referendum was closely watched in Brussels. A “yes” vote would have set Switzerland on a collision course with the EU, jeopardizing the country’s free-movement agreement with the bloc. Sixty percent of Swiss goods are sold to the EU, but that trade depends on their mutual pact. “Today, Swiss voters have sent a strong signal in favour of reliability, openness, and the continuation of the bilateral path,” said German lawmaker David McAllister, who chairs the European Parliament’s foreign affairs committee. “Switzerland remains committed to its ties with Europe and ready to tackle challenges in a pragmatic and cooperative manner.” The referendum was proposed by the right-wing Swiss People’s Party, which argued it would help relieve pressures on the country’s environment and public services. The party has a long history of campaigning against immigration. The “no” campaign focused on how restricting immigration might impact sectors like health care, where foreign-born workers are overrepresented. It also highlighted the risks for Switzerland’s relations with the EU, and the hazards of isolation more broadly in an unstable geopolitical environment. Switzerland currently has a population of 9.1 million, which is set to rise above 10 million in the early 2040s. Some 28 percent of the current Swiss population was born abroad. The relatively narrow margin in the plebiscite — with 45 percent of the population voting in favor of the proposal on a turnout of 59 percent — will heap pressure on the government to take more concerted action to address the public backlash to immigration.

Trump says there should be 'no more attacks' by Israel or Hezbollah on 'special day' when deal could be signed.
