Wicker Warns Trump Against Iran Deal as Rubio Reports Some Progress in Talks

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 22

Sen. Roger Wicker, the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman, urged Donald Trump not to accept a "weak" Iran agreement and instead keep military pressure on Tehran.
Hours earlier, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said negotiations had made "some progress" but remained incomplete, with Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile and any future enrichment capability still unresolved.
Wicker's intervention exposed a Republican split over whether Trump should extend diplomacy or press ahead with military action after recent escalation tied to Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump has said he is willing to wait "a couple of days" if diplomacy can avert more deaths, while Rubio stressed the talks are fragile and that the president still has other options if they fail.
