Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the ranking member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, issued a statement on the memorandum of understanding agreed by the United States and Iran that welcomed the halt in conflict through negotiations but called on the Trump administration to disclose the agreement's terms. She said the administration should inform Congress and the public about the deal, explain its sanctions approach and ensure the war is ended. In the statement, Warren criticized the decision to enter the conflict, arguing it led to U.S. military deaths and injuries, civilian casualties and higher household costs without making people in the United States safer or better off. She also argued that Iran is now a more extreme regime with greater leverage over the Strait of Hormuz and said preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon requires a diplomatic agreement.
