Opposition to President Donald Trump’s Iran deal is now erupting across the political spectrum, with top Democrat Chuck Schumer denouncing the agreement as “the art of surrender.”
Schumer accused Trump of giving Tehran sweeping concessions while securing almost nothing in return, warning Democrats will reject any final deal that includes billions of dollars for Iran’s reconstruction. “The Iranians took him to the cleaners,” he said.
The criticism comes as Republican opposition continues to grow. Sen. Tom Cotton, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, became the latest GOP heavyweight to break ranks, warning the deal could funnel up to $6 billion a month to what he called a “revolutionary terrorist regime.” Cotton cautioned the money would be used to rebuild Iran’s missiles and drones and bankroll Hamas and Hezbollah, while urging Trump to restore military pressure if Tehran violates the agreement.
Cotton joins a growing bipartisan chorus that includes Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, and Bill Cassidy, all warning the deal rewards Iran with sanctions relief and economic aid while leaving its missile program, nuclear infrastructure, and terrorist proxies largely intact.
