Trump is fixing Obama’s mistakes again!
In a powerful show of unity, over 200 Republican lawmakers are urging President Donald Trump to reject any new agreement that would allow Iran to continue enriching uranium — even for so-called “civilian” purposes. Their demand: total dismantlement of Tehran’s nuclear enrichment capacity, with no loopholes.
The letter, led by Senator Pete Ricketts and Rep. August Pfluger, was signed by every GOP senator (besides Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky) and 177 House Republicans, underscoring strong Congressional support for Trump’s hardline foreign policy in the Middle East.
Rejecting the Failed Obama-Era Iran Deal
The lawmakers drew a sharp line in the sand, warning against any repeat of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — a controversial agreement brokered under then-President Barack Obama.
“We cannot afford another deal that lets Iran buy time while secretly advancing its nuclear weapons program,” the letter states.
The message is clear: the U.S. cannot trust a regime known for deception, proxy terrorism, and regional destabilization.
Backing Trump’s Maximum Pressure Policy
Republicans hailed President Trump’s withdrawal from the JCPOA during his first term as a bold step toward restoring American leverage. They also praised the maximum pressure campaign that weakened Iran’s economy and military influence.
“You’ve drawn the right red line: zero uranium enrichment, no exceptions,” the lawmakers told Trump. “We stand ready to support your administration with the tools and resources needed to secure America’s national security.”
No Room for Enrichment — At Any Level
In recent comments to Breitbart, Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff affirmed the administration’s zero-tolerance stance:
“An enrichment program can never exist in Iran again. Period.”
Previously, Witkoff noted that even enrichment to low levels (such as 3.67%) was unacceptable, especially as Iran has enriched uranium to 20% and even 60% — dangerously close to weapons-grade.
Iran Still Playing Games
Despite a new round of diplomatic talks in Oman, Iran is showing no signs of compromise. Iranian officials claim they may consider temporary limits, but not total elimination of enrichment capabilities.
“For a limited time, we may accept restrictions,” said Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi — a statement many see as another delay tactic.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi and President Masoud Pezeshkian doubled down on defiance.
“Iran will not retreat from its peaceful nuclear rights,” Aragchi said on state media. “We will never surrender to pressure,” added Pezeshkian.
Trump Stands Firm — Backed by the GOP
President Trump has not yet made a final decision, but his administration’s public statements — and strong Congressional backing — suggest that any deal allowing enrichment is a non-starter.
What’s at Stake
Allowing Iran to maintain any nuclear capability threatens American national security, our allies in Israel, and stability across the Middle East. Republicans are united: now is not the time for appeasement. It’s time for strength, clarity, and zero enrichment.
