This week, Iran submitted a list of demands to end the U.S.' ongoing war in that country; President Donald Trump said he and other officials "believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate." Either way, it's clear most Americans are hoping for an off-ramp from a conflict that is wreaking havoc on gas prices and American infrastructure.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (RS.C.) suggested Congress has a role to play in that process. But given his past statements, as the Senate's biggest supporter of war with Iran, Graham apparently thinks Congress can only end a war, not start one.
"Like everyone, I hope we can end the reign of terror of the Iranian regime through diplomacy," Graham wrote on X. "As to an Iranian ten point proposal to end the war, I look forward to reviewing it at the appropriate time and its submission to Congress for a vote, like we did with the Obama JCPOA"referencing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the 2015 multinational agreement that sought to limit Iran's pursuit of a nuclear weapon. Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018, calling it "one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into."
"A congressional review process like the one the Senate followed to test the Obama Iranian deal is a sound way forward," Graham added in a later post. "Fair and challenging questions with a full opportunity to explain, and a healthy dose of sunlight is generally the right formula to understand any matter. Simply put, kick the tires."
