Our reasoning
NO on the research record because Pro-Trump Iran hawks did not fall in line by May 26, 2026: GOP senators including Lindsey Graham and Roger Wicker publicly blasted the reported 60-day ceasefire framework on May 24, Graham continued warning of 'troubling aspects,' and Mark Levin was still demanding release of the MOU text weeks later.

Applied stored rule: Prominent pro-Trump Iran hawks (e.g., Mark Levin, Lindsey Graham, FDD figures) publicly drop or soften their criticism and defend the deal by the end of May 26, 2026.
Outcome evidence
Pro-Trump Iran hawks did not fall in line by May 26, 2026: GOP senators including Lindsey Graham and Roger Wicker publicly blasted the reported 60-day ceasefire framework on May 24, Graham continued warning of 'troubling aspects,' and Mark Levin was still demanding release of the MOU text weeks later. By June 15, 2026 CNN was reporting prominent GOP hawks saying 'Trump has surrendered to Iran' — criticism intensified rather than muted.
