Congressman Reed said. ���What the deal does is actually brings Iran closer to becoming a nuclear power. That very real threat puts our troops at risk, our own U.S. security at risk, and puts our allies at risk.��? �� Since the President announced the six-month deal, Iran has said it will not stop work on its reactor at Arak, one of the key sites: ���Continued construction at Arak is clear proof of the Iranian intent to continue nuclear capability efforts,��? Reed said. ���I am supportive of sanctions being fully enforced and would be supportive of additional sanctions being placed on Iran,��? Reed continued. ���Now is not the time to ease sanctions without making Iran dismantle its nuclear infrastructure. We should keep the pressure on Iran in order to protect our own interests and the interests of our allies, particularly Israel.��? In July, the House passed the Nuclear Iran Prevention Act with a strong bipartisan vote of 400-20. Reed called on the Senate Monday to take up the House-approved Iran sanctions bill and force Iran to abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons. ���Each day the bill sits in the Senate, Iranians are able to move forward with their nuclear development,��? Reed said of the bill. ���The Senate should take up the Nuclear Iran Prevention Act to send a clear message that where the President is taking us with the already-volatile Iran is troublesome and dangerous.��? ##### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
