Senator Lankford Urges Congress to Endorse Any Trump-Iran Deal
Senator James Lankford says Congress should formally ratify any agreement President Trump reaches with Iran. He argues that a treaty vote would lock in lasting protections against Iran’s attacks on Americans, U.S. interests and regional allies. Lankford criticized the 2015 nuclear deal for lacking congressional approval, which left it vulnerable to reversal. He expects President Trump’s version to be far stronger and permanently bar Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. Negotiations are reportedly nearing a conclusion after recent U.S. and Israeli strikes prompted Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz, spiking global oil prices. U.S. officials say the deal will dismantle key nuclear facilities, verify compliance and guarantee safe shipping through the waterway. While details remain under wraps, Lankford believes binding congressional approval would secure peace now and for future generations. Iranian officials say they have not yet signed off on a final agreement.
