This deal is a capitulation by the greatest nation in the world to the most rogue nation in the world. What makes the deal so bad is that Iran doesn't even have to cheat to emerge in 10 or 15 years with an industrial-sized nuclear program and with little or no breakout time to achieve nuclear weapons capabilities. By lifting the financial sanctions, we are literally financing the very weapons and terror that will be directed at us and our allies by the biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world today. Amazingly, we are abandoning the arms embargo and the ballistic missile embargo against Iran for good measure. Not only is our national security threatened, but our close ally, Israel, fears for its very existence under this deal. We simply cannot abandon Israel. Let history record that I stand against this weak and dangerous deal with a regime that hates the U.S. and hates Israel.
