Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., on Sunday said “it is best” if Congress votes to ratify any potential deal to end the war in Iran, saying that a deal approved by Congress would have a more “lasting effect.”

“It is best if it is ratified by Congress; it has a more lasting effect on it,” Lankford told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”

He added that President Donald Trump is seeking to “end Iran’s constant attack of Americans and American assets and American allies in that region,” which the Oklahoma senator said has been going on for 47 years.

“To try to end that forever helps us in this generation and in future generations,” Lankford added.
