Wicker: Military Action on Iran Needed for Peace

On April 25th, Senator Roger Wicker from Mississippi is done with talking to Iran.

He posted on X that negotiations are over, and President Trump should order the military

to wipe out Iran's conventional forces and any nuclear.

Leftovers for real regional peace.

Trump sending envoy Steve Whitcough and Jared Kushner to Islamabad this Saturday for direct

talks with Tehan.

It's the first since April 11th, when previous chats fell apart over Iran's lack of nuclear

promises.

Those came right after Trump called a two-week ceasefire following February 28th, U.S.-Israeli

strikes on Iran's leadership in bases.

Meanwhile, that ceasefire got extended just before it laps Wednesday as Trump pushes for

a deal or back to bombs.

The big clock ticking is the 1973 War Powers Act, with its 60-day limit on troop actions

without Congress approving ending April 29th, plus 30 days to pull back.

GOP Senators like Susan Collins of Maine, John Curtis of Utah, and Tom Tillis of North

Carolina are sounding alarms.

Collins says no blank check passed the deadline without a solid ceasefire or deal.

Curtis backs initial defense moves, but wants a vote for anything longer.

Tillis gave Trump some room early on, but worries about unclear goals and no quick end in

sight, making it tough to extend beyond the window, as Tenge and Simmer tore that April

29th cut off.
