Tennessee Republicans celebrated President Donald Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
On Monday, Trump announced the two Middle Eastern countries had agreed to a ceasefire. Last weekend, America dropped bombs on Iranian nuclear sites. These bombs did significant damage to Iran’s nuclear sites; however, it remains unclear if they stopped Iran from being able to build a nuclear weapon.
In retaliation, Iran launched an attack on an American military base in Qatar, but the missiles were intercepted.
“This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!” Trump stated on Truth Social.
After the announcement, Senator Marsha Blackburn said “God Bless” Trump.
“This is what peace through strength yields. America First, always,” she stated.
Blackburn added, Thank you to President Trump, our men and women in the military, and this administration for making the United States and the world safer.”
Representative Andy Ogles (R-TN-05) called the president the “greatest foreign policy mastermind in American history.”
“Give him the Nobel Peace Prize—NOW,” he stated.
Diana Harshbarger (R-TN-01) said, “Praise the Lord! Thank you President Trump!”
After the ceasefire took effect, Trump accused both countries of violating the agreement.
On Truth Social, Trump rebuked Israel, telling the country not to drop bombs on Iran. He said if Israel did this, then it would have been a “major violation” of the ceasefire.
“ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave’ to Iran,” Trump stated. “Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Israel had accused Iran of violating the ceasefire, but Iran denied the allegation.
Regarding regime change in Iran, Trump told reporters he is not seeking this as an option.
According to The Hill, Trump said, “The Iranians are very good traders, very good businesspeople, and they got a lot of oil. They should be fine. They should be able to rebuild and do a good job. They’re never going to have nuclear. But other than that, they should do a great job, which is exactly what I’ve been saying for years.”
With this deal in place, Trump said he is returning his focus to getting the Big, Beautiful Bill passed in Congress, which has until July 4th to pass it.
