The American people have spoken and overwhelmingly oppose the P 5 +1 agreement. Our allies in the region, who know Iran best, oppose this deal. The President, enabled by Senate Democrats, continues to live in fantasy land. The Presidents track record in the region is appalling : Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Benghazi, the Reset with Russia, Redlines in Syria, his failed ISIL strategy and his catastrophic withdrawal from Iraq just to name a few. Now, handing billions, intercontinental ballistic missiles and a legal pathway to a nuclear weapon to Iran. The American people deserve the truth, rather than lies and half truths about snapback sanctions, secret side deals, anytime-anywhere inspections, Irans right to enrich uranium or plutonium and as we stand here today, Congresss role in this bad deal. Members of Congress must ask themselves two questions: Does this deal make us more secure? Does this deal make us more safe? The answer to both questions is a resounding no! Secretary of State John Kerry said, No deal is better than a bad deal. I couldnt agree more. I yield back. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
