"Senator Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally and one of the most vocal Iran hawks in Congress, said he preferred diplomacy and appreciated the hard work of all involved in trying to find a diplomatic solution. But he said he was extremely cautious about reports surrounding the ceasefire agreement and stressed that lawmakers will review any deal with Iran."
"Trump had said on Tuesday that the US and Iran were very far along with a definitive agreement and described Tehran's 10-point plan for a deal as a workable basis on which to negotiate. The content of any future agreement remains unclear, but Iranian officials say the 10-point plan includes sanctions relief for Iran and allowing the country to retain control over the Strait of Hormuz."
"Lindsey stressed that lawmakers would review any deal with Iran. We must remember that the Strait of Hormuz was attacked by Iran after the start of the war, destroying freedom of navigation, Graham wrote on X. Going forward, it is imperative Iran is not rewarded for this hostile act against the world."
The truce between the US and Iran has been welcomed by Democrats, who are calling for accountability regarding the war. Republican allies of Trump, including Senator Lindsey Graham, express caution about the ceasefire and any potential agreements. Trump announced the ceasefire shortly after making alarming statements about civilization at risk. The truce allows Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz while negotiations for a lasting peace continue. The details of any agreement remain uncertain, with Iranian officials proposing sanctions relief and uranium enrichment.
