There is no question in my mind because we have the ability to put all kinds of other sanctions in place as well as enforce existing U.N. resolutions that apply to missiles and other things.

There is absolutely no question whatsoever that Israel is safer because Israel...

This is going to be a full-time operation, and it is not going to be left to a normal bureau.

The Gulf States spend about $130 billion a year on their defense. Iran spends $15 billion, yet you see a disparity in terms of what is happening within the region.

I could not agree with you more about this new arrangement. We are talking about arms transfers, about special operations, training, about counterterrorism, counter insurgency.

Jan 20, 2015
And this deal brings them back into compliance, Senator. That is exactly the purpose of this deal.

I assure you that we will be coordinating very, very closely with Israel as we do on every aspect of Israel's security.

This deal is fundamentally and irreparably flawed. I believe it weakens our national security, and it makes the world a more dangerous place.
Jan 20, 2015
I personally hope that the next President is someone who will remove the national security waiver and reimpose the congressional sanctions that were passed by Congress because this deal is fundamentally and irreparably flawed.

We would not be where we are without Wendy, without Jack, without Moniz, and an incredible team...
Jan 20, 2015
I believe they will be supportive of this, and I was very heartened to see...

I authored the U.S.-Israel Strategic Partnership Act and the U.S.-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act.

Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop, or acquire any nuclear weapons.
