Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), today released the following statement on President Obama’s negotiations with Iran on its nuclear enrichment program: “As I expected and predicted, there is no deal on the Iranian nuclear program. Thanks to the President’s 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. "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 – and now we’re negotiating into 2015. We have no insight into and no monitoring of Iran’s Parchin military base outside of Tehran, where the International Atomic Energy Agency believes they have been working on designs for a nuclear bomb. The Iranians have been deceiving the international community about its nuclear program for two decades and I see no reason why this would change. "I agree with Prime Minister Netanyahu when he said that the interim agreement was a 'historic mistake' and that 'no deal is better than a bad deal.' Allowing Iran to retain the capability to be able to build a bomb in one year is not success – it’s a bad deal. 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. But that’s not the path we’re on. President Obama has already made a reckless agreement to ease pressure on Iran, and I fear it will get worse." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
