Some GOP senators and Trump allies have harsh reviews of his agreement to end Iran war
Republican leaders questioned the deal’s financial terms as the memorandum starts a 60-day deadline for a final nuclear agreement.
- President Donald Trump’s newly signed, 14-point interim memorandum of understanding to end the conflict with Iran has provoked a rare and intense public backlash from powerful national security hawks within his own Republican Party.
- Top Republican lawmakers, including Senators Bill Cassidy, Ted Cruz, and Roger Wicker, have openly rebuked the agreement, with Cassidy condemning it as "the worst foreign policy blunder in decades" and declaring that former President Ronald Reagan would be "rolling over in his grave."
- Congressional Republicans are particularly incensed by a provision in the framework that commits the United States to working with regional partners to establish a massive $300 billion reconstruction and economic development fund for Iran, arguing it hands a financial lifeline to a state sponsor of terrorism.
- Prominent conservative commentators and former administration officials, including Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, and former Vice President Mike Pence, have also broken ranks with Trump to pan the deal, drawing unfavorable comparisons to Barack Obama's 2015 nuclear agreement and calling the new framework an act of "appeasement."
- In response to the internal party rebellion, President Trump sharply lashed out at his right-wing critics on social media, labeling them "fools" who are "either jealous, bad people, or stupid," while defending the deal as a major victory that has already caused oil prices to tumble and the stock market to reach record highs.
