Senate Republicans Cast Doubt on a Potential Peace Deal With Iran

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Saturday dropped a cartoonishly false claim about Donald Trump while praising him following the president’s update on talks to end his unpopular Iran war.

The criticism has grown so intense that Trump advisers are now responding sharply to critics within their own party.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Saturday expressed concerns over the emerging deal between Iran and the US.

While President Donald Trump was burning the midnight oil hammering out a last-minute peace and denuclearization deal with Iran, his White House inner circle was hammering the critics from the right for either working to "undermine" peace efforts or "illegally" abusing residual security clearance.
