Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana sharply criticizes President Donald Trump’s interim agreement with Iran, describing it as “the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.” Multiple outlets report Cassidy says Ronald Reagan would be “rolling over in his grave,” a remark he shared publicly as he denounced the deal.
The agreement, which the Trump administration releases as a first-stage or interim measure, is presented as an effort to end the roughly 110-day conflict. The Guardian reports the accord includes a 14-point framework and makes political and financial concessions to Iran, while also seeking to reopen the strait of Hormuz and avert a “worldwide depression.”
Other Senate Republicans are reported to hold skepticism about the arrangement, even as the administration characterizes the interim deal as a major U.S. win. The coverage emphasizes that Cassidy’s comments reflect broader internal GOP debate over the terms and implications of the interim steps toward de-escalation with Tehran, rather than agreement on the deal’s overall effectiveness.
