We hate this and we’re wholeheartedly supporting it. That’s the early line from Senate Democrats in response to Donald Trump’s deal with Iran. They haven’t seen the full details — no one has, except for (theoretically) a tight-knit group of Trump officials and some Iranians — but Democrats say they are ready to sign on to a plan if it actually means the war is over, our Igor Bobic reports.
“I think the only thing we can do is end the war, but I mean, Iran gets everything they want out of this — sanctions relief, implicit control of the Strait of Hormuz, no commitments on nuclear program,” Sen.
