Claim 2: “the US has been forced to make concessions in a deal to end its war on Iran on Tehran’s terms.”
DISPUTED
The evidence shows a conflict in framing. While one source (Middle East Eye/web search) suggests Iran is forcing terms and the US is making concessions, other sources (Al Jazeera, Iran War Live Updates) describe the situation as 'inching closer' to a deal or 'signaling a move' toward one, with details remaining 'murky'. There is no consensus that the US has already been 'forced' to accept Tehran's terms; rather, it is a point of diplomatic contention and negotiation.
