GOP Critics Blast Trump's Iran Memorandum as a Disaster

At the G7, Trump announced a 14-point memorandum with Iran that Republicans and right-wing commentators say could lift sanctions and funnel about $300 billion to Iran, while sidestepping key U.S. goals. Critics such as Ted Cruz and Ben Shapiro blasted it as a dangerous concession, citing uncapped funds for Tehran, questions over Israel’s involvement, and a lack of decisive action on Iran’s nuclear program, while Trump framed it as not final and warned he could resume hostilities if Iran misbehaves.
