Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley forcefully condemned the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement on Wednesday, arguing that the deal would effectively finance the reconstruction of the very regime and infrastructure targeted by American military operations during the war.

In a sharply worded social media post, Haley defended the military strikes against Iran while warning that the proposed agreement risks undoing their gains.

“Hitting Iran’s nuclear and missile sites was the right move. This regime chants death to America, murders our troops, and attempts to assassinate Americans on US soil. They believe they have an obligation to destroy us,” Haley wrote in a post on social media.

She went on to criticize provisions that would unlock Iranian assets and ease economic restrictions, arguing that Tehran would use the resources to strengthen its military and terrorist networks.

“Now, we plan to unlock billions of dollars and lift sanctions, with the promise of even more money. They will use that money the way they always do- to further their nuclear ambitions and on terrorist proxies against us. It’s a huge mistake to pay to rebuild the threat we just destroyed,” she added.

Haley’s comments came after details of the U.S.-Iran framework agreement were made public earlier Wednesday. The document outlines a preliminary understanding under which Iran receives substantial economic and diplomatic benefits while pledging not to pursue nuclear weapons.

The framework establishes a 60-day period during which negotiators are expected to finalize a permanent agreement.

Until that process is completed, the United States would end its naval blockade of Iran, remove additional restrictions imposed on the country, and pull its forces farther from the region.

Under the agreement, Iran would guarantee the free and secure movement of commercial shipping between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman for a period of 60 days.

The framework also includes a U.S. commitment to develop a reconstruction and economic development package for Iran worth at least $300 billion, while eliminating sanctions imposed by the United States, the United Nations Security Council, and the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors.

In addition, Washington agreed to immediately issue a waiver permitting the export of Iranian crude oil, refined petroleum products, and related derivatives, along with the banking and financial services necessary to facilitate those transactions.

Haley is not the only prominent Republican raising alarms about the agreement.

On Tuesday, former Vice President Mike Pence sharply criticized the memorandum of understanding being negotiated between the Trump administration and Iran.

During an interview with CNN, Pence argued that the deal “smells of appeasement” and said it provides sweeping benefits to Tehran without requiring significant concessions in return.
