Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) ripped into the Trump administration’s Memorandum of Understanding with Iran, calling it the “worst foreign policy blunder in decades.”“Reagan is rolling over in his grave,” Cassidy wrote Wednesday. “Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal.“Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive,” he said. “Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.”
READ IN FULL: THE 14-POINT PEACE AGREEMENT WITH IRAN
The White House read the full text of the deal with Iran to reporters on a call Wednesday but have not yet released the document.
The readout outlined 14 points included in the deal: The United States agreed to lift its sanctions on Iran and its naval blockade in the region as well, with Iran agreeing to allow ships to transit through the Strait of Hormuz freely and saying it “shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons.”
