Trump's Iran Deal Blasted By All Sides As 'Incredibly Foolish . . . Much Bigger Than A Mistake'
The U.S. deal to end the war in Iran was widely panned across the political spectrum in the wake of reports suggesting it heavily favors Iran and leaves the regime better off than it was before the war.
Key Facts
New York Times neoconservative columnist Bret Stephens, who supported the war initially, wrote that the "hard men of Tehran appear to have scored a decisive victory over the vain man of Washington," accusing Trump of betraying Israel, the Iranian people and Americans who supported the war, and calling the deal "a debacle."
Trump ally Steve Bannon tweeted "the $300 Billion Fund for Iran's Reconstruction Should Come to the United States First Until America is Made Whole for ALL Costs Associated with This War INCLUDING A SIGNIFICANT BONUS FOR ALL OF OUR TROOPS," referring to the private fund that has already committed half that amount to trigger investments in Iran, not rebuild what has been destroyed in the war as Bannon stated, Reuters reported.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said on his podcast Wednesday that it's an "incredibly foolish idea" and "utterly indefensible" to give Iran access to $300 billion.
