Maines Second District Congressman, Bruce Poliquin, released the following statement: As a strong opponent of the Iran Nuclear Agreement, I find this new information to be very concerning and disturbing especially since many of our military bases are within range of these Iranian missiles. I have always believed that we must maintain our arms and missiles sanctions on Iran, the leading state-sponsor of terrorism. Relieving Irans economic, arms and ballistic missiles sanctions will likely result in an arms race and help fund those who seek to harm Americans at home and abroad. As Maines Second District Representative, I will continue to monitor this serious issue and do everything I can to stop this oppressive regime, which is committed to killing Americans and destroying Israel. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
