Fox News posted a scathing supercut of U.S. senators from both parties condemning President Donald Trump’s Iran deal this week, featuring comments from Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Elizabeth Warren, Rand Paul, Dick Durbin, Adam Schiff, and Tim Kaine.
For a week, President Donald Trump’s Iran deal has been absorbing sharply worded questions in Washington. On social media. Fox News turned that political friction into a single. cutting video—stitching together senators across party lines and framing their doubts with language that leaves little room for nuance.
On June 18. 2026. Fox posted the clip online with the caption: “‘What an embarrassment.’ GOP and Democrat senators are casting doubt on President Trump’s Iran peace deal. with lawmakers from both parties criticizing the agreement and raising concerns about its potential impact.” The post then led with a line that set the tone for the rest of the compilation: “Giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is not a good idea.”.
In the supercut, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is the first senator shown. He repeats the same core message. saying. “Giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is not a good idea. I think the President. unfortunately. is receiving bad advice on his deal.” The clip then cuts to a moment of confrontation-as-navigation: a Fox reporter is shown asking Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). “I was just going to ask you about the Iran deal. what you think about it?” Graham waves the question off and walks away.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) follows. and her criticism lands with a familiar refrain—comparing the deal’s structure to what existed during the Obama era. She says. “For this whole nuclear deal now. no better than what we had back in 2015. back when Barack Obama cut the deal. And that’s where Donald Trump winds us up after all of this. What an embarrassment.”.
The clip continues with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) appearing next as he also walks away when asked to comment.
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) then adds a stark question of purpose and sequence: “We went to war for what? The idea of doing something that straits up our moves. The straits are being used peacefully before our invasion. And now we have to negotiate they’ll be used peacefully in the future.”
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) moves the argument to what he says is the deal’s imbalance, saying, “It’s going to get access to his frozen assets. And what is Iran giving up for this? Nothing. Nothing. They’re merely reaffirming what they’ve said before about nuclear weapons.”
The final senator shown in the supercut is Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA). who points to public reporting about the agreement and what he says is the scale of what the U.S. is relinquishing relative to what it receives. He says. “All I’ve seen is public reporting about it. but the public reporting to me suggests we’re giving up an awful lot more to get a lot less than the JCPOA.”.
Fox’s supercut doesn’t just collect insults or ideology. It stitches together a recurring set of grievances—bad advice and danger on the right. embarrassment and continuity with the Obama-era deal on the left. and skepticism about costs. concessions. and enforcement—so the message reads as a shared rejection across the usual partisan divide.
Fox News also drew attention for what the post reflects: a noticeably critical tone toward Trump’s Iran deal, with some hosts questioning the merits in a way that has been picked up widely in coverage beyond the clip itself.

So Fox is just name calling now lol
I mean “theocratic lunatics who want to murder us” is a wild way to frame it. But do they even show the details of the deal or just cherry pick clips? Sounds like they want everyone mad before thinking.
This is just everybody dunking on Trump again. Like if Warren and Cruz and Graham are all saying stuff, that means it’s probably bad… right? Also I saw somewhere this deal gives money for “peace” but peace doesn’t fund itself so idk. Fox did a supercut like that’s proof of anything.
I hate when they stitch together lawmakers across parties like it’s one coherent argument. Cruz’s line is basically the headline and then the rest is just people walking away from reporters?? And the Obama comparison feels like a cheap shot too. Why can’t they just say what changes from 2015 instead of yelling about the “theocratic” part.
