Pro-Israeli Republicans come out against a deal with Iran US Republicans are divided over reports of a potential deal with Iran, exposing fractures within Donald Trump’s own political base. Senator Ted Cruz said he is “deeply concerned” about what such an agreement could involve, warning it could hand Tehran major concessions. Writing on X, Cruz said Trump was “right” to strike Iran but warned it would be a “disastrous mistake” if the outcome allows Iran to receive “billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz”.
