The GOP, like the hardliners in Iran, has long opposed any deal that the other country could agree on.
that his country is only developing its nuclear program for peaceful purposes, specifically to ensure their energy independence.
Opposition to the deal is nearly uniform in the Republican Party. Signatories to the recent letter to Biden included House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, hardcore Trumpists like Louie Gohmert and Jim Jordan, and “never-Trump” conservative Liz Cheney. Indeed, ever since then-President George W. Bush included Iran in the so-called Axis of Evil in his 2002address, conservatives have found wide-ranging political utility in manufacturing Iran as the world’s great supervillain.
In many ways, the anti-Iran positions help clarify how little daylight there is between the so-called nationalist wing of the party and the more traditional neoconservative wing. Members of the nationalist wing — as epitomized by Trump, his adviser Steve Bannon, and Congresspeople Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert — are more likely toin open Islamophobia in staking out their anti-Iran positions.
