Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), today released the following statement on President Obama\u2019s negotiations with Iran on its nuclear enrichment program: \r\n \u201cAs I expected and predicted, there is no deal on the Iranian nuclear program.\u00a0 Thanks to the President\u2019s foreign policy of appeasement, his systematic dismantling of the American armed forces, and the lack of a coherent strategy for the Middle East, Iran is negotiating from a position of strength.\u00a0\u00a0   \u00a0   \"Since 2007, our intelligence has said publicly that Iran would have a nuclear weapon and delivery system that could reach the United States by 2015 \u2013 and now we\u2019re negotiating into 2015.\u00a0 We have no insight into and no monitoring of Iran\u2019s Parchin military base outside of Tehran, where the International Atomic Energy Agency believes they have been working on\u00a0designs for a nuclear bomb.\u00a0 The Iranians have been deceiving the international community about its nuclear program for two decades and I see no reason why this would change.\u00a0   \u00a0   \"I agree with Prime Minister Netanyahu when he said that\u00a0the interim agreement was a 'historic mistake'\u00a0and that 'no deal is better than a bad deal.' \u00a0Allowing Iran to retain the capability to be able to build a bomb in one year is not success \u2013 it\u2019s a bad deal.\u00a0 The only good deal with Iran would be to reinstate the full spectrum of sanctions or dismantle the country's enrichment program and implement a monitoring regime to prevent the development of a clandestine program. \u00a0But that\u2019s not the path we\u2019re on.\u00a0 President Obama has already made a reckless agreement to ease pressure on Iran, and I fear it will get worse.\"\r\n###", 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://www.inhofe.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/inhofe-statement-on-iranian-nuclear-program-negotiations"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.2914051078259945, "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"}
