He never should have started this conflict, and this agreement proves it.\n\nMore than 100 days later, his recklessness has left Americans poorer, weaker, and less safe.\n\nTrump bragged he could get a stronger deal than the JCPOA. He did not. He tore up an agreement that had Iran\u2019s nuclear program under real limits with inspectors in place.\n\nHe chose war instead, and left Americans to pay the price: fourteen servicemembers\u2019 lives lost, hundreds more wounded, billions of taxpayer dollars wasted, and higher costs at home.\n\nThis \u201cdeal\u201d isn\u2019t a deal at all. Trump is making massive concessions, all before Iran has made a single lasting commitment on its nuclear program.\n\nThe deal hands the Iranian regime $300 billion, lifts sanctions on Iran\u2019s oil industry, and gives Iran access to its frozen funds for reopening the Strait of Hormuz \u2014 a waterway that was open before the war began.\n\nIt secures no guarantee American and allied vessels will be able to pass permanently toll-free. And to make matters worse, Trump\u2019s war only hardened Iran\u2019s radical leadership.\n\nAt the end of the day, we are back to the same position we were in when we tried to get a deal with Iran on its nuclear program back in February.\n\nCongress must be briefed on the agreement immediately, but it\u2019s clear the Administration has work to do to strengthen this deal over the 60-day ceasefire period.\u201d", 1, "2026-06-19T06:50:32Z", "2026-06-19T06:53:40Z"]], "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://stanton.house.gov/2026/6/stanton-statement-on-u-s-iran-agreement"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.5817119963467121, "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"}
