Trump's Iran peace deal draws fire as 'surrender'

Democrats denounce Trump’s Iran deal as ‘surrender’

 

Several prominent Democrats, including Sen. Chris Murphy, have labeled the Iran memorandum of understanding as an 'essentially surrender' to Tehran, arguing it delivers minimal concessions from Iran while granting them billions in relief. Murphy contends that Iran retains its missile, drone, and nuclear capabilities, and that hardliners are stronger post-war. Other Democrats like Sen. Cory Booker and Rep. Seth Moulton have called the deal an 'utter disaster' and 'terrible deal,' while some, such as Rep. Ro Khanna, support it for ending the conflict and reducing costs.

 

An end to this disastrous war is a good thing – no matter the humiliating terms. Because every day it continues, our nation gets weaker, costs keep going up, Iran gets stronger, and Trump gets further from accomplishing his goals.
