Sen. Thom Tillis on the Iran Deal: A 60-Day Ceasefire, Expecting to Clear the Strait Before the Terms Are Established, Seems Questionable
RUSH EXCERPT:
TILLIS: "I doesn't make sense to me. I‘m not too far away from where Pompeo is, to be honest with you. And I support what chairman wicker says. Look, we were told about 11 weeks ago by Hegseth and the Department of Defense that they had obliterated Iran‘s defenses. And it was just A matter of time before we had the nuclear material. Now we‘re talking about a posture where we may accept the nuclear material remaining in Iran. How does that make sense at all? Also a 60-day ceasefire and expecting that they‘re going to clear the strait of Hormuz before the terms of the deal are established also seems questionable to me. There are a lot of things that need to be explained. And as I‘ve said before, any agreement with Iran that isn‘t subject to ratification by Congress is going I think, going to be doomed to fail, just like the agreement we‘re trying to replace, which was the failed agreement by Obama."
