Republican and Democratic senators are speaking out against President Trump's memorandum of understanding with Iran, according to a video circulated by Abu Ali Express on Friday evening. Senator Ted Cruz (Republican) is the first figure shown in the clip, which highlights growing bipartisan congressional opposition to the emerging deal.
A new video circulated by Abu Ali Express on Friday evening shows Republican and Democratic senators publicly opposing President Trump's memorandum of understanding with Iran. Senator Ted Cruz (Republican) is the first lawmaker featured in the clip, which reflects mounting bipartisan criticism of the deal's terms.
The opposition comes amid a week of intensifying congressional pushback. As The Zioneer reported on Thursday, Democratic Senator Jack Reed called the emerging agreement worse than the 2015 JCPOA, and Senator Richard Blumenthal said the Senate will not approve it. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has demanded the deal be brought before Congress for approval, while Israel Hayom reported Friday afternoon that GOP resistance is 'mounting at a high level of desperation.'
The MOU was presented to Congress on Thursday evening, but the full text has not been released. Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has demanded immediate disclosure of the terms. The video's specific content and the number of senators featured beyond Cruz are not yet clear from the brief circulating report.
