Israel is reportedly being reported. Iranand Trump accused them both of them of breaking the newborn truce. On Tuesday morning, the president gave a sharp responsibilities to both countries.
“Essentially, there are two countries that have been fighting for a long time and they don’t know what they’re doing,” he told reporters.
At Capitol Hill, lawmakers were already skeptical of the deal shortly after the announcement of the ceasefire, but were convinced that the president’s negotiating power would ensure that a fragile ceasefire would not be crushed.
“I continue to maintain hope,” the person in charge said. Nancy MaceRs.C. told Fox News Digital. “I trust the President. He was right in everything, so he is the only president who could bring Iran and Israel to the table like this. So I pray that this will work.

Trump’s announcement comes shortly after a weekend strike with a bunker-breaking bomb that the White House says has wiped out Iran’s nuclear program. Last week, many lawmakers were determined that the overall point of supporting Israel in their bombing campaign against the Islamic Republic was to prevent Iran from building or accumulating atomic weapons.
Senator Eric SchmidtR-Mo. told Fox News Digital that Trump was his first term with Abraham Accord and his recent visit to Saudi Arabia, a foundation that will help solidify a lasting ceasefire between the two.
“All you can do is trust that because of the events that took place, Iran… their traditional weapons have been cut off and their platforms have been broken,” he said. “Their nuclear program has been wiped out, so they’re at the table for that.”
Sen. John Haven (RN.D.) told Fox News Digital that Iran “normally doesn’t do what they said they would do.”
However, he believed things could be different because he wanted to be willing to use the powers he described as the president, indicating that Trump “means business.”
“I think they’re coming to the table now and they’re in a very vulnerable position, so that’s not true, but their track record is very bad,” he said. “You can’t count on what they say, so this goes back to Reagan’s ‘trust’, but check it out. “Everything we negotiate with them must be verifiable, and certainly that’s how the administration approaches it. ”
However, even with a ceasefire, the Iranian regime remains unchanged. However, a shared sentiment among many lawmakers was that if a change of government took place in Tehran, it must be left to the people of Iran rather than the US government.
Virginia Sen. Tim Kane has pushed for a resolution of his war power to vote in the upper room, but he said, “Do we really want to join a war that will change another administration?
“We changed the Iranian regime by leading a coup against the prime minister in 1953,” Kane said. “And that’s one of the reasons why US-Iran relations are so bad in 70 years. Do we really want to do that again?”

Certainly, the US-backed fall of then Prime Minister Mohammad Mosadodeg opened the door for Shah Mohammad Reza Pallavi to take control of Iran. However, by 1979, an Islamic revolution had occurred, expelling Pahlavi from power and seeing the birth of the current regime.
Retired Marine Commander, Rep. Jack Bergman, set his position on the change of government in more concise terms. “That’s not our role.”
R-Mont Sen. Steve Daines praised the president’s actions over the weekend, saying he believes the strike negotiated a path that could lead to “generational change” on future peace and stability in the Middle East and West.
Still, he said, “While the change in the administration can break one or two ways, it will be harder to do anything worse than what we do today.”
“I’m cautiously optimistic, but we’re not there yet,” he continued.

However, not all lawmakers share the same sentiment.
R-Mont. Rep. Ryan Zinke told Fox News Digital that he believes the US should take a stronger stance when it comes to Iran’s change of government.
“I’m the Navy Commander Seal who spent time there and buried a lot of my friends,” he said. “The attack is fantastic, it is deceptive and we have issued a statement.
