Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are split on President Donald Trump’s Iran peace deal, with some concerned the deal entails little enforcement, while others praise it as progress toward preventing a nuclear-armed Iran.
Deal Details
Sen. Thomas Tuberville, R-Ala., believes the deal shows progress from the beginning of the war, particularly in disbarring Iran’s nuclear program. However, many are skeptical about whether the deal is harsh enough in substantially ensuring Iran’s nuclear program will be destroyed throughout the 60-day negotiation period.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., shared concerns about the potential for the $300 billion toward economic reconstruction included in the deal to be used to fund terrorist groups. He also expressed concerns about the lack of inspection or verification.
Other senators, such as Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., believe the framework of the deal could position the U.S. to be successful, but only if negotiations with Iran are properly enforced.
