President Donald Trump is reportedly considering dismissing several senior members of his administration who opposed the recently announced agreement with Iran, according to a report by Israel Hayom.
Among those said to be under consideration are Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, both of whom reportedly voiced opposition to the agreement during internal White House deliberations.
“The debate has been settled. Anyone who opposed it could pay a personal price,” a senior U.S. source told Israel Hayom two days ago, describing the atmosphere surrounding discussions on Iran inside the White House.
According to the report, Trump is weighing personnel changes as he seeks to solidify support for the agreement within his administration.
One senior official who appears to be safe, at least for now, is Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Israel Hayom reported that Rubio was careful not to publicly criticize the agreement and continues to enjoy significant support within the administration.
The White House has not commented on the report, and no dismissals have been announced.

What if Trump fires them only to find out a couple of weeks down the road that they were in fact right in that you cannot trust Iran on anything, then what? Probably he should then fire all the others who were for this deal. If Trump on fact fires them based on their respectful disagreement with him, then my guess is it’ll probably be the beginning of the end of his presidency. It’s going to continue to go down from here right into the midterms and then he’ll have two years of undiluted hell from the Dems…
Israeli outlets are notoriously wrong about US politics.
