Republican, Democratic Lawmakers Express Concern over Apparent Iran Deal
- President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social late Sunday defending his Iran deal as 'a good and proper one,' contrasting it with Obama's agreement after senior Republicans including Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, and Mike Pompeo warned it could be 'a disaster that ultimately emboldens Tehran.'
- The reported deal would reopen the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping and require Iran to surrender enriched uranium, with specifics negotiated during a 60-day period; Trump claimed Saturday the agreement was largely negotiated before rowing back Sunday, stressing negotiators would not be rushed.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters Sunday the idea that Trump would agree to a deal strengthening Iran's nuclear position was 'absurd,' while Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker warned the three-month military campaign would be 'for nothing' if the reported terms were agreed.
- Senator Graham reversed course Sunday, hailing the proposal as 'a brilliant proposal by President Trump,' while Pompeo escalated criticism on X, prompting Trump's director of communications Steven Cheung to respond with profanity-laden attacks on Pompeo.
- Critics warned a 60-day ceasefire without confidence Iran would engage in good faith 'would be a disaster,' with 'Everything accomplished by Operation Epic Fury' at risk, though Senator Cruz praised Trump's military campaign as 'the most consequential since he was re-elected.
