Why it matters

Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, called on President Trump Friday to resume strikes on Iran to “finish what we started” — claiming the commander in chief is being “ill-advised” to pursue a deal to end the war.

Common ground

“Our commander-in-chief needs to allow America’s skilled armed forces to finish the destruction of Iran’s conventional military capabilities and reopen the strait,” Wicker said in a statement.

Perspective signals
