Tim Sheehy acknowledged on Monday that Tehran is doing exactly what many of Trump\u2019s critics\u2014and some of his allies\u2014fear: buying time.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing now is the rope-a-dope they usually perform, which is buy time and try to lead us along until hopefully President Trump and his team\u2019s out of office,\u201d the former Navy SEAL said in an interview Monday on <i>Fox &amp; Friends<\/i>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cSo hopefully this [round of talks] is successful, but we have to remind ourselves we are dealing with a regime that will not negotiate in good faith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t want the Straits to be open. They want you and your family and all of us to be killed. They want to wipe our civilization off the map\u2014that\u2019s their national motto. Nothing\u2019s changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Montana Republican\u2019s stark comments underscore the growing tension inside the GOP over Trump\u2019s efforts to sell a peace agreement with Iran as the midterms approach in November.<\/p>\n<p>While administration officials insist the talks are producing tangible results, many Republicans remain deeply skeptical that Tehran can be trusted.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President JD Vance attempted to reassure critics on Monday, announcing from Switzerland that Iran had agreed to allow International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors back into the country following the latest round of talks. <\/p>\n<p>He described the move as \u201ca major milestone\u201d and \u201cthe first step\u201d toward permanently ending Iran\u2019s nuclear weapons program. Technical negotiations are expected to continue in Switzerland in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody is fully aware that Iran will agree to have Major Weapons Inspections in order to ensure \u201cNuclear Honesty\u201d long into the future,\u201c Trump also on Truth Social on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>But even that claim has generated questions. International inspectors were also already in Iran under the Obama-era nuclear agreement that Trump tore up and has spent years attacking. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1991\">Trump\u2019s Own Judges Turn on Him in Blizzard of Blistering Rulings<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Vance\u2019s sales pitch also comes amid growing questions about his standing abroad following a series of diplomatic embarrassments, including a highly publicized snub by a senior Qatari official. <\/p>\n<p>The former marine &#8211; who came to office as the leading figure of MAGA\u2019s anti-interventionist wing &#8211; is now effectively touring the world celebrating the restoration of arrangements that already existed before Trump blew them up the first time.<\/p>\n<p>And even Trump-friendly hosts on Fox News are highly skeptical that Iran will stick to whatever deal is eventually reached.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think they know the political cycle,\u201d said host Brian Kilmeade.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cYou are right and the vice president and his team are aware of that,\u201d Sheehy replied, adding this is why it was so important to put guardrails in place to try to curb Tehran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope Vice president JD Vance and Steve Witkoff and (Jared) Kushner can convince them to stop trying to murder the world, but this regime does not want a deal or the Strait to be opened. They want us to be killed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump ordered strikes on Iran on February 28, expecting a speedy victory against the authoritarian regime. Since then, however, 13 US service officers and countless Iranians have died, while a standoff in the Strait of Hormuz has led to more pain at the pump for consumers. <\/p>\n<p>But the administration is now facing a backlash over its Memorandum of Understanding with Iran, which includes sanctions relief, oil-export waivers and access to frozen Iranian funds. <\/p>\n<p>Several prominent Republicans have publicly broken with Trump over aspects of the agreement, including senators Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Tom Tillis and Roger Wicker. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>They have raised concerns that the deal gives Iran economic benefits without sufficient guarantees that its nuclear ambitions have been permanently dismantled. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1990\">Pope Leo Offers Reality Check After Trump\u2019s Desperate Claim<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A GOP senator has admitted that Iran is playing \u201crope-a-dope\u201d with Donald Trump and simply running out the clock until the president gets pushed out of office.
