Deakin University Global Islamic Politics Chair Professor Greg Barton suggests that US President Donald Trump likely would have preferred a different outcome following the recent Iran-US peace deal. “It’s not the best deal … I don’t think anyone really wants the deal in the current form the way it is, but it’s the best available deal,” Mr Barton told Sky News host Caleb Bond. “We now recognise that getting the Strait of Hormuz open is critically important, so sometimes in politics, you just have to take your best option and negotiate from that. “I’m sure President Trump would rather have a different outcome right now, but it is very clear this is the least worst outcome. You’ve got to work with what you’ve got.”
