The worst possible outcome the world, the United States, and Israel face is a nuclear Iran.

The necessity of ending Iran's nuclear weapons program is at the top of that list.

We share a belief that not only is the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran too great to tolerate, but that Iran's nuclear program could set off an arms race in the Middle East.

What is the use of TPA if you have a deal done?

I hope that we will find a bipartisan way for this Congress to responsibly weigh in.

Even the President conceded in the 2014 State of the Union that sanctions laws passed by the U.S. Congress with bipartisan veto-proof majorities forced Iran back to the negotiating table.

Iran can cheat, but we do not worry about that in the context of unsettling the Joint Plan of Action because technically it is not within it.

I believe the only way Iran will voluntarily stop their march to nuclear weapons is if they know tougher and tougher sanctions will be enacted.

But such a peaceful resolution to Iran's nuclear program will not be possible if we do not allow the negotiations to proceed to conclusion.

However, it is not just any agreement. It has to be an agreement that significantly moves Iran in a different direction.

new sanctions at this time are unnecessary and, far from enhancing the prospects for negotiations, risk fatally undermining our diplomacy

Congress should vote on the agreement, just as the Senate would ratify any important treaty.

the more concerned I am that we feed into the narrative there that Iran is the victim when Iran has original sin here by having an illicit nuclear program.

Our international partners believe that the United States, if it is perceived as acting prematurely through additional nuclear-related sanctions legislation in the absence of a provocation or a violation by Iran, their willingness to…

We have gone 35 years with a government that funds and exports terrorism, who has used its vast oil wealth not even to create in their country, even to create the ability to refine their own oil into gasoline.

It is worth the gamble if the past is prologue, sanctions didn't drive them away. In fact, sanctions helped bring them to the table.

It is a search for the truth.

What we have asked for is to be true partners in this investigation.
