After Trump’s Outburst, Senate G.O.P. Reverses Course on Iran

President Donald Trump engaged in a heated exchange with Republican senators on June 24, 2026, over an unpopular Iran war during a closed-door meeting, shortly before his administration requested tens of billions of dollars in congressional funding for the conflict. Following the confrontation, Senate Republicans reversed their opposition to Trump's Iran policy. The administration announced $500 million in American goods purchases for Iran and confirmed U.S. inspectors would join the International Atomic Energy Agency in Iran as part of ongoing nuclear negotiations aimed at preventing Iranian weapons development.
