US senator: Trump will not sign “a bad deal” with Iran

US Senator Lindsey Graham has said he is confident that President Donald Trump will not agree to “a bad deal” with Iran, while noting that the current parameters of the proposed memorandum of understanding appear “promising,” according to Clash Report.

He made it clear that the memorandum of understanding, as described by the vice president and the administration, looks very promising.

“I'd like to have a diplomatic solution to Iran's nuclear ambitions. My skepticism is Iran itself. What would a good deal look like? No enrichment. We're opening up the streets and we're stopping hostilities — that is a success of its own, but whether or not we can get phase two, I don't know. When it comes to the nuclear program, yeah, that's the law [Congress must approve]. And he said he'd send it over. So, yeah,” Graham noted.

He added that he trusts the president but not Iran’s leadership, citing decades of mistrust.

“You can trust the president. As for the Iranians, I do not know. Given 47 years of deception, I would say no,” he stressed.

According to him, President Trump has done more to deal with Iran than anyone else since he has been in the arena.

“They are in their weakest military position. Their economy is shattered,” he said. “Saudi Arabia and Israel, frankly, owe President Trump a lot. It would be good for the region and the world if these two countries made peace and did business with each other.”
