Adams (NC-12) released the following statement after President Trump declined to recertify Iran\u2019s compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).\n\u201cThe Iran deal isn\u2019t perfect but this multinational agreement has weakened Iran\u2019s nuclear program,\u201d said Congresswoman Adams. \u201cThe international community supports it and twice since taking office President Trump has recertified the deal. Today, without any definitive evidence of Iranian violations, the President haphazardly decertified it. This is a political stunt that endangers our national security, threatens our international relationships, and emboldens our aggressors. In the void of true leadership from this President, Congress must once again stand up and fix this error.\u201d\n###\nAnnounced in July of 2015, the JCPOA is an international agreement negotiated by the \u201cP5+1\u201d (United States, China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and Germany), the European Union, and Iran that sought to cut off Iran\u2019s path to nuclear weapons capability.\nUnder the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act (INARA) the President is required to re-certify Iran\u2019s compliance with the JCPOA every three months. INARA also requires the President to provide Congress with credible evidence of Iranian noncompliance, should violations of the JCPOA occur.\u00a0 No such evidence has been provided to Congress to-date, and the International Atomic Energy Agency, U.S. military and intelligence officials, and U.S. allies have indicated that Iran remains in technical compliance with the agreement.\nLast week Rep. Adams joined 179 Members of Congress to send a letter to President Trump urging him to recertify Iran\u2019s compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://adams.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/adams-warns-national-security-concerns-following-trump-s-decertification"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.802670070901513, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
