Rare GOP pushback tests Trump’s Iran deal

President Trump’s Iran agreement is drawing unusual public criticism from influential Republican senators over the terms, notably the proposed $300 billion reconstruction fund and sanctions relief. While some hawks like Ted Cruz and Roger Wicker voice strong concerns, others such as JD Vance defend the deal, and several senators warn it could be jeopardized without changes. The White House has begun briefings with lawmakers, signaling that continued GOP dissent may complicate passage in a GOP-controlled Congress and affect related funding decisions ahead of midterm deadlines.
