GOP Senator Urges Trump to Resume Military Campaign Against Iran

Republican Senator Roger Wicker, who chairs the Armed Services Committee in the US Senate, has urged President Donald Trump to restart military operations against Iran rather than pursue diplomatic negotiations to resolve the conflict.

In a forceful statement, Wicker took issue with the current administration's approach, asserting that Trump is receiving "bad advice" steering him toward reaching an accord with Tehran.

The senator emphasized that the moment has arrived "to permit the American military to accomplish its objective," pointing to the necessity of "destroying Iran's conventional military infrastructure and restoring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz," which he characterized as essential for "security and strategic purposes."

"The president has consistently wanted to complete the undertaking in Iran, yet he is being given faulty guidance to pursue a settlement that holds no real value," Wicker stated.

The senator further cautioned that ongoing negotiations with Tehran could project "indications of vulnerability," while stressing: "We stand at a critical juncture that will shape how history judges President Trump's time in office."
