Tom Cotton, the Senate's foremost Iran hawk, is in a Trump-induced jam [View all]
Tom Cotton made his name in Washington as an outspoken critic of a Democratic president's deal to check Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Now, with a president of his own party angling toward a similarly structured agreement, the Arkansas Republican is so far using a softer voice.
Cotton, the No. 3 Senate Republican and Intelligence Committee chair, is not alone among GOP defense hawks in finding himself in an awkward position more than a decade after lambasting President Barack Obama's Iran deal.
But the combination of his prior ferocity toward the Iranian regime and his current leadership responsibilities have put him into an especially tight spot as President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance sell their 14-point "memorandum of understanding" to skeptical Republicans.
