Representative David Price (D-NC) issued the following statement today on the agreement, reached over the weekend between Iran and the P5+1 powers, including the United States. The deal requires Iran to halt progress on suspend or roll back key elements of its nuclear program, including halting enrichment above a certain level and reducing highly-enriched uranium stockpiles, and to provide for increased access to Iran's nuclear facilities by international monitors. Earlier this year, Rep. Price coauthored a bipartisan letter signed by over 130 House members urging the President to reinvigorate diplomatic efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon in the wake of the country's presidential election. The interim agreement reached over the weekend is an important first step toward a comprehensive and verifiable deal to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The agreement suspends key elements of Iran's nuclear program, diminishes Iran's capability to produce weapons-grade material, and commits Iran to unprecedented transparency and monitoring requirements. Should Iran fail to hold up its end of the bargain, the limited sanctions relief included in the deal will be terminated. Whether this interim agreement will lead to a final deal remains to be seen, but I commend the Obama Administration for heeding bipartisan calls in Congress to give diplomacy a chance and believe Congress must give our negotiators the time and space they need to pursue such a deal. Hastily enacting additional sanctions at this time could fracture the international coalition that produced this initial agreement and thus actually weaken the Administration's leverage as it pursues a broader deal. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
