Schiff: Trump Hands Iran Windfall

Sen.

Adam Schiff (D-CA) criticized President Donald Trump on Wednesday, arguing that the latter’s deal with Iran was unilaterally benefiting Tehran, while providing little benefit for the U.S.

Financial Boon To Iran In a post on X, Schiff delivered sharp criticism of the Iran agreement following talks between U.S. and Iranian representatives, in the presence of Qatari and Pakistani mediators.

The California senator added that if there was an “art to the deal, it looks distinctly Iranian.” Schiff shared a screenshot of a headline that reported the U.S. had issued a temporary waiver on oil exports to Iran, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noting that Iran had secured a “temporary 60-day general license” for the production and export of Iranian oil.
