Sen. Thom Tillis on the Iran Deal: A 60-Day Ceasefire, Expecting to Clear the Strait Before the Terms Are Established, Seems Questionable

‘A posture where we may accept the nuclear material remaining in Iran, how does that make sense at all?’

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."
