Key Excerpts:

Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.): "President Trump has put them on notice, if you don't keep up your end of the deal, we will continue to bomb you and hold you accountable.

I fully trust President Trump to continue to try to come to a peace agreement, but the peace agreement has to include those 4 variables. Iran can't have a nuclear weapon, they have to give up the nuclear dust, they can't continue to funnel money to their terrorist proxy groups, and they have to open up the strait.

It's fundamental, it's common sense, it's 80% popular with the American people"
