Politico said the administration sent Congress a memorandum of understanding outlining terms to pause hostilities with Iran, but the delayed submission triggered objections from Republican lawmakers.
The White House submitted to Congress a memorandum of understanding laying out 14 points of agreement intended to at least temporarily halt hostilities with Iran after nearly four months of military action launched by Trump. Politico reported that the delayed delivery of the document drew strong criticism from many Republican senators and some House Republicans. The new account reframes the development as a congressional notification over a proposed pause in fighting, rather than a completed binding settlement.
