Thune said he also has asked to review the text of the memorandum of understanding outlining the deal with Iran, but he is still awaiting details. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe haven\u2019t seen anything yet, so there\u2019s nothing really at this point to react to,\u201d Thune said. \u201cWhat we\u2019ve heard about it, obviously, is that it\u2019s a sort of a framework to allow for discussions to continue \u2014 but I think at the end of the day, the goal here is to make sure that Iran ends its nuclear program, and whatever financial incentives they have should be conditioned upon that. But we\u2019ll see when we know more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thune noted that the Gang of Eight, a colloquial term referring to top congressional leaders and lawmakers who oversee national intelligence, has not been briefed \u2014 which is somewhat unusual considering the deal was signed over the weekend. <\/p>\n<p>Federal law requires the president to keep congressional intelligence committees \u201cfully and currently informed of the intelligence activities of the United States, including any significant anticipated intelligence activity,\u201d according to Congress.gov. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear if protocol calls for congressional leaders to explicitly request briefings or if they are offered by administration officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince I\u2019ve been in this job, we haven\u2019t had this issue, so I don\u2019t know the answer to that,\u201d Thune said on Tuesday. \u201cThey understand they\u2019re going to have to, I think they\u2019ve intimated as much, that they\u2019ve got to get this in front of us. And hopefully that\u2019ll happen sooner rather than later. But you know, obviously it sounds like they\u2019re not going public with it until later in the week, so we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thune said he expects a briefing from the administration once the text of the memorandum is made public, which is set to happen at some point this week. The Deseret News contacted the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmovershub.com\/?p=1798\">Abusers of the elderly often start with best intentions, DA says<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Senior U.S. officials told reporters in a press call on Monday the text could be made available within the next day or so, although President Donald Trump has said it could be after the deal is officially signed on Friday. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like to get a formal setting first before we do that, but I have no problem with that,\u201d Trump told reporters on Tuesday. \u201cI will go over the document with the media in a couple of days.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>What do we know about U.S.-Iran MOU? <\/h3>\n<p>The agreement, described as a \u201cmemorandum of understanding\u201d by senior U.S. officials, was signed by both Trump and Vice President JD Vance over the weekend as well as by Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of the Iranian parliament. The framework establishes an agreement to cease military action for 60 days as officials in both countries continue negotiations on longer-term issues.<\/p>\n<p>The initial framework is a commitment from Iran to work with the U.S. to verify it is not developing a nuclear weapon nor is it \u201cfunding radicalism and terrorism in the region,\u201d according to senior U.S. officials. If those expectations are met, the U.S. will welcome Iran into the world economy by offering \u201ca combination of sanctions relief and other economic measures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not yet clear if Congress will have an opportunity to weigh in on the deal. But top Republicans say once agreements are made in relation to Iran\u2019s nuclear program, Congress will likely need to approve parameters of a deal. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI assume that Congress is going to \u2014 we\u2019re going to need to be heard from on this if there\u2019s a deal that deals with a nuclear program,\u201d Thune said. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmovershub.com\/?p=1796\">How do we know when an election is fraudulent?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters he has requested a briefing and to review text of the deal, but has not yet seen it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1801,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
