Although details of Trump’s Iran War deal remain murky, it’s already being criticized for reportedly giving up a $300 billion reconstruction fund. Graham told reporters on Tuesday, however, what he believed the deal achieved.<\/p>\n

“If this thing goes through, we’ve opened up the straits,” the GOP senator said. “The war will be in a permanent ceasefire, and we’ll try to get a nuclear deal with Iran.”<\/p>\n

On X, commentators dogged Graham as they pointed out that these achievements were what was already in place before Trump started the war.<\/p>\n

“We’ve achieved opening the Strait that was open before the war that Trump lost,” wrote Ben Rhodes, a former Obama foreign policy advisor and political writer.<\/p>\n

“The big achievement of the war, according to Lindsey Graham, is that things will hopefully go back to the way they were before the war,” MeidasTouch, a political news network, piled on.<\/p>\n

“Trump started the fighting and is responsible for the closing of the Strait,” agreed Norman Ornstein, a political scientist and contributing editor for The Atlantic. “So he is giving Iran tons of money, draining $50 billion or more from taxpayers, depleting our vital stocks, bloodshed from our military, oil, helium, and fertilizer prices up, to return to status quo ante.”<\/p>\n

“Not only were the straits open before Trump initiated combat operations, but the U.S. could have very likely prevented Iran from closing them & clearly was not able to\/did not prioritize that part of mission,” senior national security reporter Zachary Cohen wrote. “Now, Iran has demonstrated it can successfully close them.”<\/p>\n
