White House, Senators: Iran Agreement Forged through Strength, Actions
President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance have secured a historic breakthrough by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran.
Forged through decisive American strength, this agreement ensures Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon, reopens the Strait of Hormuz to free navigation, and puts America First — rejecting the failed policies of appeasement, cash payoffs, and endless wars that have weakened the United States for decades.
Here’s what they’re saying:
Sen. John Barrasso: “@POTUS Trump forced Iran to the table from a position of American strength. He has been clear:
Iran will not get a nuclear weapon
They will not have a path to a weapon
They are not going to be able to enrich uranium
“America is putting an end to the terrorism.”
Sen. Jim Banks: “Iran has been decimated. They know what will happen if they don’t hold-up their end of the deal and there will be hell to pay. Under @POTUS, we operate with Maximum Pressure and Peace Through Strength.”
Sen. Marsha Blackburn: “President @realDonaldTrump has shown time and time again on the world stage that he is determined to find peace and that his first priority will always be to put America first.”
Sen. Katie Britt: “There is no one better at making a deal than @POTUS. I appreciate this Administration’s efforts to hold the Iranian regime accountable and ensure they can never obtain a nuclear weapon.”
Sen. Deb Fischer: “Iran is weak right now, and @POTUS is negotiating from a position of strength. I support the administration’s efforts to keep Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon—which is crucial to keeping America and the world safe.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham: “[I]t is my opinion that signing the MOU will be beneficial to the United States, in as much as the Strait of Hormuz will begin to open, and the hostilities with Iran will stop. Whether or not the United States can reach an acceptable, verifiable deal with Iran regarding its nuclear program and other issues is yet to be determined, but I see little downside to trying. The economic stability that comes from opening up the Strait and the cessation of hostilities could create a pathway to peace well beyond the Iranian conflict. The expansion of the Abraham Accords and normalizing relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel is President Trump’s and my ultimate goal. I think that is best achieved by creating economic stability for the United States, the region and the world, as well as the cessation of hostilities. The signing of the MOU is an essential step to make that happen and thus it is worthwhile.”
