Republican revolt grows over Trump’s Iran dealThe backlash against President Donald Trump’s Iran agreement is intensifying, with senior Republicans warning the deal hands Tehran sweeping concessions while demanding little in return.Sen. Ted Cruz warned that “history teaches that giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is not a good idea,” arguing Trump is receiving “very poor advice.” Sen. Bill Cassidy called it the “worst foreign policy blunder in decades,” while former UN ambassador Nikki Haley blasted the agreement as “a huge mistake to pay to rebuild the threat we just destroyed,” warning that sanctions relief and billions of dollars would ultimately fund Iran’s nuclear ambitions and terrorist proxies.The criticism follows the release of the framework agreement, which reportedly commits the US to lifting sanctions, ending its naval blockade, allowing Iranian oil exports, and supporting a reconstruction package worth at least $300 billion, while Iran’s main commitment is not to develop nuclear weapons during a 60-day period to negotiate a final accord. Former Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Lindsey Graham have also warned the deal risks repeating past policies of appeasement toward Tehran.The post Top Republicans turn on Trump’s Iran agreement appeared first on World Israel News.
