Officials pointed to a \u201cmemorandum of understanding\u201d that was agreed to in mid-June, but the framework was effectively dead only weeks later after fighting reignited when commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz were fired upon by Iranian forces.<\/p><p>Most recently, Iran said it would only allow American ships to navigate freely through the strait if the U.S. met a series of high demands. Among those were billions of dollars in U.S. payments, the end of the naval blockade and the exit of U.S. troops from the region.<\/p><p>This has put Trump and the administration in a tough position as they work for a deal to reopen the strait for business \u2014 which has become the main priority ahead of November. But lawmakers believe the roller-coaster nature of the war and the negotiations to bring it to a halt aren\u2019t doing them any favors.<\/p><p>\u201cI wish the president were more clear about what his objectives are,\u201d Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said. \u201cThis off again, on again [cadence] is creating some confusion in people\u2019s minds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cornyn argued that the weekslong timeline laid out by the administration at the outset was a mistake in itself.<\/p><p>\u201cThe enemy always gets a vote. That\u2019s the problem with providing timetables and deadlines in a military conflict,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>The war is also colliding with Election Day, less than three months out, something Republicans who wanted the war wrapped up prior to the summer warned about when it was launched in February.<\/p><p>According to a recent , only 35 percent said they approve of the U.S. strikes against Iran, with only 17 percent saying that stability in the Middle East will get better over the next year<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2490\">Rep.

Fifty-eight percent of respondents said they believe gas prices will worsen.<\/p>\n<p>And the public doesn\u2019t understand the endgame. Sixty-nine percent said in a  that Trump has not \u201cclearly explained the goals\u201d of the military effort in Iran.<\/p><p>For now, the White House is trying to take an alternate tact after months of threatening to wipe Iran off the earth at times.<\/p><p>\u201cWe are low-keying it,\u201d Trump told <span><u>Axios<\/u><\/span> recently. \u201cWe are only semi-negotiating with them.

It\u2019s like a chess game,\u201d Trump said of the back-and-forth with Iran.<\/p><p>Adding to the frustrations for lawmakers has been a lack of briefings from the administration. Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, told reporters he couldn\u2019t remember the last time he received a briefing from the Pentagon regarding the war.<\/p><p>\u201cIt\u2019s not recent and it\u2019s not frequent or routine,\u201d he <span><u>told<\/u><\/span> reporters.<\/p>\n<p>But as the Senate tackled the final week pile-up before the summer recess, Iran was the dominant subject when Vice President JD Vance attended a Senate Republican luncheon.<\/p><p>According to members, Vance was peppered with questions about the conflict, with some urging the administration to be more transparent.<\/p><p>Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy suggested he and other officials hold a news conference \u201cand spend all day talking straight up to the American people about where we are, why we went in, what the hold up is, how much damage has been done to Iran, what we know about their nuclear stockpiles, what we think about the strait.\u201d<\/p><p>He told reporters he thought \u201cthere\u2019s a lot of confusion about Iran.\u201d And, Kennedy admitted, \u201cI wish the American people could have heard what the vice president told us.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2489\">Karoline Leavitt Is Leaving the White House<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of confusion,\u201d said Sen.
