Republican Senator Lindsey Graham echoed President Trump's announcement regarding an agreement with Iran, adding that Congress will review and approve it, according to Abu Ali Express.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham on Thursday evening backed President Trump's assertion that a memorandum of understanding with Iran is emerging, and stressed that any such agreement must face congressional review and approval. Graham's statement, reported by Abu Ali Express, aligns with remarks the senator made earlier in the evening that were covered by The Zioneer, in which he hoped the deal meets Trump's red lines and differs fundamentally from the 2015 JCPOA. Trump himself had claimed minutes earlier that other countries have also signed on to the memorandum. The rapid succession of statements signals a coordinated messaging push from the administration and its allies on Capitol Hill. The Zioneer reported earlier that Trump is set to speak with Prime Minister Netanyahu tonight. No text of any agreement has been released, and it remains unclear whether a finalized framework has been reached.
