Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker (R-MS) issued a statement on June 18, 2026, criticizing the memorandum of understanding between President Donald Trump and the Iranian regime. Wicker expressed concern that the agreement undermines previous U.S. efforts to counter Iran's influence, particularly referencing a $300 billion fund for Iran's reconstruction, which he claims would overshadow the financial terms of the 2015 deal made under President Obama. Wicker stated that he opposes lifting sanctions on Iran and emphasized that the Iranian regime has not renounced its hostile objectives towards the U.S. and Israel. He called for a reassessment of the deal during the negotiation period. The agreement has also faced criticism from other Republicans, including Fox News host Mark Levin, who argued that Iran has historically used negotiations to advance its goals.
