A senior Senate Republican says President Trump, who abruptly changed his weekend travel plans, must \u201cfinish what we started\u201d by striking Iran instead of trying to secure a deal with the regime.<\/p>\n

Sen. Roger Wicker, Mississippi Republican and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said Mr. Trump faces a moment that will define his legacy as Pakistani mediators work on a peace deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurther pursuit of an agreement with Iran\u2019s Islamist regime risks a perception of weakness. We must finish what we started. It is past time for action,\u201d Mr. Wicker said on X.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump has said he wants to give diplomacy a chance, though he is ready to launch a new bombardment if Tehran does not meet his terms for giving up on a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

The president said he plans to remain at the White House this weekend instead of heading to his New Jersey golf club, as initially planned, or attending his eldest son\u2019s wedding in the Bahamas.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump did not tie his decision directly to Iran. However, he said \u201ccircumstances pertaining to government, and my love for the United States of America,\u201d did not permit him to attend the wedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time,\u201d Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

Mr. Wicker said it is time for Mr. Trump to send Iran a stern message.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis instincts have been to finish the job he started in Iran, but he is being ill-advised to pursue a deal that would not be worth the paper it is written on,\u201d Mr. Wicker wrote on X. \u201cOur commander-in-chief needs to allow America\u2019s skilled armed forces to finish the destruction of Iran\u2019s conventional military capabilities and reopen the strait.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mediators from Pakistan and Qatar traveled to Iran on Friday in a bid to finalize a peace deal between Tehran and Washington.<\/p>\n

Gulf allies like Qatar would like to see an extended ceasefire or lasting peace. Iran retaliated against U.S. allies in the region after Mr. Trump launched his military operation against Iran on Feb. 28.<\/p>\n

\u201cIran is dying to make a deal, we\u2019ll see what happens, but we hit them hard,\u201d Mr. Trump said at the White House on Friday. \u201cWe had no choice because Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They cannot have it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Negotiators have closed in on a peace deal in the past, only for it to fall apart.<\/p>\n

It is unclear if negotiators can finish the job this time. Sticking points remain, including what to do with Iran\u2019s enriched uranium and methods for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil waterway that Tehran effectively shut down after the start of the war.<\/p>\n

Some ships have gotten through the strait as the U.S. military maintains a blockade of Iranian ports. However, the situation is tenuous, and Iran and Oman want to formalize control of the strait.<\/p>\n

Also Friday, Sen. Tom Cotton urged Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to sanction any entity that tries to block traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, including the Persian Gulf Strait Authority that was recently established by Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PGSA cannot operate without the consent of other nations, and the United States must ensure every actor enabling the terrorist Iranian regime is held accountable,\u201d said Mr. Cotton, Arkansas Republican.<\/p>\n
