More than a decade in the making, the Obama Presidential Center opened today on Chicago's South Side with 4 former presidents, A-list entertainers and thousands of visitors in attendance.

President Trump made the case for his deal with Iran during an hour-long press conference today, while seeming to lower his own bar for success and warning he could bomb Iran again if nuclear talks fail.

This is the first crisis between the U.S. and Iran since signing a deal to end the war this week.
