Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has called on President Donald Trump to put aside his hardline politics and offer assistance to Iran after the country was hit Sunday by what's become the deadliest earthquake of the year.

With casualties having reached at least 452 people dead and thousands more injured, mostly in Iran, according to CNN, the influential democratic socialist lawmaker appealed Monday to the current U.S. administration to support Iran's recovery efforts as former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama did in the past.

"The devastation from the earthquake in Iran last night is horrific. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones and the communities that must cope with this catastrophe," Sanders tweeted.

"I hope and expect that the United States will assist in disaster relief efforts for Iran, as we did in 2003 and 2012. At a time of growing tension between our two countries, this would be an important act of friendship," he added in a follow-up tweet.

Would be highly surprised if he gave any assistance at all - especially after seeing how he dealt with PR.
