Wicker attacks reported 60-day Iran ceasefire framework

Senator Roger Wicker criticized the reported 60-day ceasefire framework being discussed as part of President Donald Trump’s Iran peace proposal. The reported framework involved ending or pausing parts of the conflict while negotiators worked through nuclear restrictions, the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions relief, and Iran’s ability to sell oil. Wicker’s criticism added pressure from Republican hawks who argued the emerging framework could weaken U.S. leverage and reward Iran. Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, Thom Tillis, Mike Pompeo, and John Bolton also warned against concessions, while Rand Paul defended negotiations and Marco Rubio defended Trump’s diplomacy.
