Republicans Who Have Drawn a Hard Line on Iran Pan Trump's Emerging Proposal to End the War
Republican senators warned the reported terms could give Iran sanctions relief and enriched uranium while leaving the country stronger, officials said.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced that a peace agreement with Iran had been "largely negotiated," sparking immediate backlash from Republican hawks who warned the reported terms would be a "disastrous mistake."
- Critics targeted reports of a rumored 60-day ceasefire, with Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi warning that believing Iran will "ever engage in good faith would be a disaster" for the war effort.
- Worries about Iran receiving sanctions relief while maintaining control of the Strait of Hormuz led Senator Ted Cruz to express being "deeply concerned," while State Mike Pompeo dismissed the deal as "not remotely America First."
- Former national security adviser John Bolton called negotiations "a waste of oxygen" with Tehran, arguing the ceasefire benefits Iran's military capabilities; Senator Lindsey Graham contended the deal concedes there is no military solution.
- As US and Iranian officials provide contradictory messages, Ben Rhodes challenged claims that Operation Epic Fury achieved value, arguing the war only empowered the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in control of Iran and the Strait.
