Iran Hawks warn Trump against weak deal as blockade bites

Trump’s reported Iran peace proposal has ignited a fierce conservative revolt, with prominent allies warning the deal’s terms are too lenient and demanding the president maintain maximum pressure until full nuclear dismantlement is secured.

A reported one-page memorandum of understanding to end the Iran war has triggered fierce backlash from prominent Trump allies and Iran hawks, who warn the proposed terms are dangerously weak. The deal, reported by Axios, would halt Iran’s nuclear enrichment for 10 to 20 years in exchange for eased U.S. sanctions and return of frozen assets, with both sides relaxing Strait of Hormuz blockades during a 30-day negotiation window.

Fox News broadcaster Mark Levin called the deal “disastrous,” while conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt demanded stricter terms, insisting: “President Trump never gives up leverage. Why would he start now with Iran on the ropes?”

Pro-Israel advocates warned the regime cannot be trusted, urging Trump to maintain the blockade, which they say is weeks from breaking Tehran entirely.
