Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) said Monday evening that President Trump is right to impose heavy sanctions on the Iranian regime, according to a report on Israeli social media. Cotton warned that Iran's 'terrorist attacks' on neighboring countries and the Strait of Hormuz must not be ignored.
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) voiced strong support for President Trump's Iran sanctions policy in a statement Monday evening, according to a report on Israeli social media. Cotton argued that the Iranian regime 'does not honor its commitments' and that its 'terrorist attacks' on neighboring states and the Strait of Hormuz must not be ignored.
The remarks come as the US-Iran standoff intensifies. As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, President Trump has reportedly ordered a strike against Iran. The Senate has also passed a resolution requiring congressional approval for any military action against Tehran. Cotton, a prominent Republican hawk on Iran, has consistently backed the administration's maximum pressure approach.
