华盛顿6月16日路透电——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周二表示,他愿意将与伊朗结束战争的临时协议提交美国国会审议,而包括众多共和党同僚在内的议员们表示,他们对该协议基本一无所知。
周日宣布的美伊协议引发了乐观情绪,人们认为这场已造成数千人死亡、扰乱全球经济的冲突即将结束。

据两国官员透露,这份谅解备忘录将把4月宣布的脆弱停火期限再延长60天,并重新开放霍尔木兹海峡——这条主要航运航线自2月28日美以开始袭击伊朗以来已基本被封锁。
但协议细节仍不明确,协议文本尚未公布或提交国会。
特朗普周二还坚称,伊朗将放弃其核武器计划。伊朗长期以来一直表示,其核计划用于和平目的。
民主党人士对特朗普最新的和平协议承诺提出质疑。
“我们已经被无数次告知战争结束了,却又无数次感到失望,”参议院民主党领袖、来自纽约的查克·舒默在周二参议院会议开场时表示。
“特朗普声称与伊朗达成‘谅解’已经过去两天了,他仍未公布任何关于该协议实际内容的细节……”舒默说。
舒默呼吁特朗普政府为国会“八人集团”举行机密简报会。“八人集团”是由情报委员会和国会领袖组成的团体,通常会向其通报重大国家安全动态。
舒默还表示,官员们应该向整个国会通报情况,并告知美国民众。
目前尚未公布任何相关活动的计划。
“我喜欢这个想法”
特朗普在法国对记者表示,他此前并未考虑过将与伊朗的谅解备忘录提交国会审议,但他会这么做。“我喜欢这个想法,”他在七国集团峰会间隙与阿联酋总统穆罕默德·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬会晤时说道。
特朗普表示,他想等到预计于周五举行的正式签署仪式之后再行动。
特朗普在法律上可能有义务让国会参与其中。根据2015年民主党总统巴拉克·奥巴马政府敲定伊朗核协议时通过的《伊朗核协议审查法》,任何此类协议在解除制裁前都必须提交国会审议。
该审查程序为议员们试图阻挠协议部分条款留下了空间。
一些共和党议员愿意与总统唱反调,他们曾与民主党人一起投票,试图迫使特朗普就伊朗战争寻求国会批准。根据美国宪法,宣战权属于国会,而非总统。
但在参众两院均占据微弱多数的大多数共和党人,在特朗普第二任期内几乎没有意愿挑战他的外交政策。
参议院共和党领袖、南达科他州参议员约翰·图恩周二在国会山对记者表示,党内议员正敦促特朗普提供谅解备忘录文本。
“我们正努力获取文本,”他说,并承认政府不向本党分享如此重大事态的信息是不同寻常的。
“从我担任这个职位以来,我们还没有遇到过这种情况,”图恩说。
其他共和党人也与民主党人一道,对信息缺失表示不满。
“如果这是一份秘密协议,那我怎么能认真对待它?”北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯周一晚间对记者表示。

Lawmakers in the dark on Iran deal as Trump says he will send it to Congress

Summary
Trump says he will send deal to Congress after formal signing
US president typically briefs ‘Gang of Eight’ on big news
Thune says Republicans press Trump for memorandum text
WASHINGTON, June 16 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he was willing to send his interim deal to end the war with Iran for review by the U.S. Congress, as lawmakers, including many of his fellow Republicans, said they were largely in the dark about the pact.
The U.S.-Iran agreement, announced on Sunday, has spurred optimism that a conflict that has killed thousands and disrupted the global economy will soon end.

According to officials from both countries, the memorandum of understanding would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a major shipping route effectively blocked since the U.S. and Israel began attacking Iran on February 28.
But the details remain unclear and the text of the pact has not been released or sent to Congress.
Trump also insisted on Tuesday that Iran would abandon its nuclear weapons program. Iran has long maintained that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
Democrats have questioned Trump’s latest promise of a peace deal.
“We’ve been told dozens of times that the war is over and dozens of times we’ve been disappointed,” Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York said as he opened the Senate session on Tuesday.
“It’s been two days since Trump claimed he had reached an ‘understanding’ with Iran and he still hasn’t released any details… about what it actually is,” Schumer said.
Schumer called on the Trump administration to hold a classified briefing for Congress’ “Gang of Eight,” a group of intelligence committee and congressional leaders typically briefed on major national security developments.
Schumer also said officials should brief the entire Congress, and inform the American people.
No plans for any such events have been released.
‘I LIKE THE IDEA’
Trump told reporters in France that he had not thought about sending the memorandum of understanding with Iran to Congress for review but that he would do it. “I like the idea,” he said during his meeting with Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates, on the sidelines of the G7.
Trump said he wanted to wait until after a formal signing ceremony expected on Friday.
Trump could be legally obligated to involve Congress. Under the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, a 2015 U.S. law passed as Democratic President Barack Obama’s administration finalized an Iran nuclear agreement, any such agreement must be submitted to Congress for review before sanctions can be eased.
That review leaves open the possibility that lawmakers could try to block parts of the deal.
Some Republican lawmakers have been willing to break with the president, voting with Democrats, unsuccessfully, to force Trump to seek congressional approval for the Iran war. Under the U.S. Constitution, Congress, not the president, has the power to declare war.
But most Republicans, who hold slim majorities in both the Senate and House of Representatives, have shown little appetite during Trump’s second term for challenging his foreign policy.
Senator John Thune of South Dakota, the Senate’s Republican leader, told reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday that party members were pressing Trump to provide the text of the MOU.
“We’re trying to get it,” he said, acknowledging that it is unusual for an administration not to share information about such a major development with its own party.
“Since I’ve been in this job, we haven’t had this issue,” Thune said.
Other Republicans joined Democrats in expressing frustration at the lack of information.
“If it’s a secret deal, then how can I take it seriously?” Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina told reporters on Monday evening.
