RalM. Grijalva (D-AZ) and Keith Ellison (D-MN), and CPC Peace and Security Task Force Chair Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) applauded the P5+1 negotiators after they reached a final agreementwith Iran that will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The historic agreement struck today between the United States, our allies, and Iran is a triumph of international relations,said Rep. Grijalva.President Obama, Secretary Kerry and our P5+1 partners have proven that there is a better paradigm for foreign engagement than the constant threat of military action: its calleddiplomacy. This deal is the responsible way to avert nuclear ambitions, and to ensure that we all share a safer and more peaceful world. The historic agreement reached today proves the power of engagement over isolation we can choose peace over war.The world is safer thanks to the patient diplomacy and determination of President Obama, Secretary Kerry, and our P5+1 negotiating partners,said Rep. Ellison.In the coming weeks, the focus will be on the U.S. Congress to see if Republicans take this deal away from the world. We will stop those who want to push us closer to war. Todays announced deal with Iran, if fully implemented, will prevent an Iranian nuclear weapon while ensuring greater stability in the Middle East. I applaud President Obama, Secretary Kerry and our P5+1 partners for their tireless work to obtainadeal that promotes global peace and security,said Rep. Lee. In the coming weeks, the worlds attention will shift from Vienna to the halls of Congress. I hope my Republicans colleagues will put partisan politics aside and support this deal instead of pushing us one step closer to another war. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
