Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana criticized the U.S.-Iran interim deal, calling it the worst foreign policy blunder in decades and stating that Ronald Reagan would be 'rolling over in his grave' over it. Cassidy also said Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed by the deal and that Iran learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works. According to the Guardian, the deal included significant political and financial concessions to Iran and aimed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and prevent a worldwide depression. According to Almonitor, some Republican senators said the reported provisions of the deal seemed ill-advised, and some Republican commentators broke with Trump over the deal. According to the Times of Israel, some Republican hawks in the U.S. Senate, usually allied with Trump, broke with him on the Iran deal.
