Republican hawks warn of ‘disastrous mistake’ as Trump nears deal with Iran

Roger Wicker, who chairs the Senate armed services committee, said the “rumored 60-day ceasefire” would be a “disaster” in a post on social media. “Everything accomplished by Operation Epic Fury would be for naught,” he added.

Senator Lindsey Graham, a close ally of Trump, warned: “If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution.”

Ted Cruz, Thom Tillis and other Republicans criticize Trump's emerging Iran deal

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas said Saturday on X that he was "deeply concerned" about what he was hearing from inside the administration.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina said Sunday on CNN that he would not support the deal as he understands it and called out Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth by name.

Of course, Trump's spew could be another fakeout, or a double cross, because that is who he is. The US doesn't exactly have the moral high ground, given is history of support for brutal, repressive regimes, like the Shah, and the Galtieri and Pinochet juntas, and terrorist organizations like the "Contras" and Mujahideen.
