Republicans say Tehran responded only to pressure

Republicans say Tehran responded only to pressure Republican lawmaker Ron Johnson said a nuclear-armed Iran would pose an “existential threat” to the United States and expressed hope that Trump would prevent such an outcome. “Iran’s Ayatollahs should be put on the dustbin of history,” Johnson said in comments published by Iran International. John James welcomed the prospect of an agreement, telling Fox News that Trump’s pressure campaign had brought Tehran to the negotiating table.
