The war with Iran continues on. Most just want it to end.
But any deal with Iran has taken a nosedive according to this Republican.
In a bold display of American strength, President Donald Trump has made it crystal clear that endless back-and-forth negotiations with the Iranian regime are over.
The days of weak-kneed diplomacy that emboldened terrorists are done.
Now, the focus is on decisive action to protect U.S. interests and our partners in the region.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Rick Crawford, a Republican from Arkansas, is backing the president.
He warns against any half-measures or fresh attempts at striking a fragile truce with Tehran. Instead, Crawford is calling for total victory.

The congressman knows what many in Washington refuse to admit: Iran cannot be trusted at the negotiating table. Their leaders thrive on chaos and deception, using every pause in conflict to regroup and strike again.
During a recent interview, host Maria Bartiromo pressed for clarity on the volatile situation: “What are your thoughts on the recent escalations in the Middle East?”
“It feels that, again, the war is back on. The president yesterday said the ceasefire is over, he’s not going to deal with this back and forth, and he said he’d rather finish the job than do a deal at this point. Your reaction?”
Crawford’s response cut straight to the heart of the matter: “I’ve had this concern all along. I said from the beginning, if there was a deal to be made, Donald Trump didn’t make it, but there apparently is no deal to be made, so he’s right to say let’s just finish the job. I think the rest of our allies and partners in the region would appreciate that as well.”
This no-nonsense approach stands in stark contrast to past failures where American leaders chased paper agreements.
Trump understands the game, and so does Crawford.
The Iranian regime’s aggression has spilled across borders in reckless fashion. “Heck, we’ve seen the strikes against Bahrain, Qatar, and I just saw open-source reporting that there was some strikes in Jordanian airspace,” Crawford stated.
“Jordan? I mean, they’re going after everybody just to act out because they’re upset about the fact that they haven’t been able to make a deal, or he didn’t, in good faith with the United States. This is crazy, and it’s time to end this.”
Such provocations reveal the true face of the mullahs in Tehran. They lash out not from strength, but from desperation after years of failed schemes to dominate the region.
