Rubio calls GOP criticisms of Iran-Trump emerging deal ‘absurd’

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.

With the Iranian government apparently in jubilant mood, members of Trump’s own party responded furiously to reports that a proposed deal contained major concessions from Washington.

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.
