Trump Faced Iran Sanctions Rebellion From Allies on the Right

Bloomberg

As the U.S. prepared to impose new sanctions against Iran’s energy and banking sectors, senior Trump administration officials faced an internal rebellion from conservatives who accused them of being too weak toward the Islamic Republic. The criticism was more blunt from United Against Nuclear Iran, an outside group chaired by former Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman that has advocated a tough stance. "Widespread waivers granted under Iran sanctions. Whatever happened to maximum pressure? They caved. Big time," read a Nov. 2 tweet from UANI.
