Trump Faces Pressure Over Iran Ceasefire as Talks Stall

President Donald Trump faces warnings from allies and critics that he is getting "boxed in" on the Iran war, a conflict he sold as a brief military incursion but that has settled into a stubborn stalemate.
Negotiators reached a tentative agreement nearly a week ago to extend the ceasefire by 60 days, but President Trump demanded unspecified changes, emboldening Iranian officials who calculate he is reluctant to restart bombardment after burning through key weapons systems.
The House passed a symbolic resolution Wednesday calling for a halt in military action, while New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker stated, "We are the strongest nation on the planet Earth, and we're in a stalemate with Iran."
Amid concerns over the Strait of Hormuz and energy prices, Trump resisted pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to expand Lebanon bombings, demanding Israel stand down as they agreed to renew a ceasefire Wednesday.
Trump bristles at deals resembling the 2015 nuclear agreement, aware he risks tarnishing his legacy if he missteps, while Democrats capitalize on the unpopular war ahead of November elections, endangering Republicans in swing districts.
