Congress Leaves Town. Iran’s Nuclear File Does Not
As lawmakers headed into recess, President Trump declared the U.S. Navy has full control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran rejects the claim and is demanding compensation before any full reopening. Hopes for a near-term deal have collapsed. Iran’s highly enriched uranium remains unaccounted for.
In this week’s Inside the Capitol, Alicia Powe pressed senators on the way out the door: Should the United States strike Iran’s nuclear facilities—and what is your red line? Lawmakers also weighed in on Trump’s proposal to let Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.
The decisions deferred now will shape the Middle East for years.
