Republican Senator John Kennedy (Louisiana) said Monday that a bad deal with Iran is unacceptable and called for continued 'maximum pressure' through sanctions, a blockade, and airstrikes on Mount Makosh and Tehran, according to a statement published on the source.
Republican Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) escalated his rhetoric on Iran Monday, specifically calling for airstrikes on Mount Makosh and the Iranian capital, Tehran. The statement, published on the source, demands that the U.S. maintain 'maximum pressure' through sanctions, a blockade, and bombing of strategic sites. Kennedy said a bad deal is unacceptable. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Kennedy had already urged maximum pressure and strikes on strategic facilities; this latest statement adds the specific targets of Mount Makosh and the capital. The mention of Mount Makosh follows President Trump's recent pledge to strike the site, as reported by The Zioneer last month. The senator's remarks come amid ongoing Republican concerns over the administration's emerging agreement with Iran and the direction of the conflict.
