The most senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in the US, Jeanne Shaheen, has called for lawmakers to be briefed immediately on the terms of the agreement President Donald Trump struck with Iran, AlJazeera reports.

“Congress must be immediately briefed on the terms of this agreement,” she said, adding that lawmakers would review any nuclear deal as required by law. Shaheen welcomed the turn towards diplomacy as “long overdue”, but said the war’s central goals had not been met.

“President Trump did not have a plan going into the conflict on how to end it,” she said, citing his “ever-shifting statements”. She said the country had emerged weaker, pointing to 14 service members killed and domestic inflation.

“There’s no question that America’s position is weaker now than at the beginning of the conflict,” she said.
