Trump hails MOU with Iran despite misgivings from some Republicans

The divergence between the president's public support for the Iran MOU and intra-party Republican opposition introduces uncertainty around the agreement's domestic political viability and alignment of U.S. executive and legislative branch policy toward Iran.
