President Trump’s secret Iran deal has sparked widespread criticism from Republicans and media outlets. The deal, which has not been released to the public, has been described as a surrender by some of Trump’s closest allies.

Criticism from Republicans

Sen. Thom Tillis has expressed concerns about the deal, stating that it is ‘doomed to fail’ without congressional oversight. Sen. James Lankford has also criticized the deal, saying that it cannot be an executive agreement. Sen. Lindsey Graham has described the deal as ‘awful’ and expressed skepticism about Iran’s willingness to comply.

Conservative activist Erick Erickson has gone so far as to say that Trump has ‘surrendered to Iran.’ Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen has compared the deal to ‘offering the Marshall Plan to rebuild Germany while the Nazis were still in power.’

Media Coverage

The media coverage of the deal has been largely negative, with many outlets expressing concerns about the lack of transparency and the potential consequences of the deal. The New York Times has described the deal as a ‘humiliating comedown’ for Trump, while the Washington Post has said that it ‘falls far short’ of Trump’s early promises.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe has also expressed concerns about the deal, saying that US intelligence agencies have raised serious doubts about Iran’s willingness to make the necessary concessions.
