US Senator Jeanne Shaheen, the senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called for Congress to receive an immediate briefing on the agreement reached between the United States and Iran, Al Jazeera reported.
“Congress must be immediately briefed on the terms of this agreement,” Shaheen said, adding that lawmakers would review any future nuclear accord as required under US law.
While describing the shift towards diplomacy as “long overdue”, Shaheen argued that the conflict had failed to achieve its central objectives.
She criticised President Donald Trump for what she described as “ever-shifting statements” and said he had entered the conflict without a clear strategy for ending it.
“There’s no question that America’s position is weaker now than at the beginning of the conflict,” she said, citing the deaths of 14 US service members and the economic impact of the war, including higher inflation.
