US Democratic senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Adam Schiff have joined a growing number of lawmakers questioning the memorandum of understanding reached between Washington and Tehran.
In a post on X, Whitehouse criticised the lack of publicly available details about the agreement, writing: “If they’re spinning the Iran deal without showing any text, pretty good sign it’s worse than Obama’s Iran Nuclear Deal.”
Schiff also criticised the agreement, arguing that it delivered few tangible gains for the United States beyond reopening the Strait of Hormuz and securing a commitment to future negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme.
“Trump’s war of choice has been an enormous strategic loss for our country and only emboldens Iran,” Schiff wrote.
After spending about a billion tax dollars a day on his illegal war with Iran, Trump is now agreeing to a $300 BILLION Iran reconstruction fund?
The more we learn about this “deal,” the worse it becomes. https://t.co/zgCd6M29SO
