This agreement with Iran will bring the world closer to war. Under this deal, Iran can make its centrifuges used to make nuclear weapons; Iran is trusted to inspect itself; The U.S. must come to the aid of Iran if there is sabotage against its weapons program, and in the meantime, Iran is buying anti-aircraft weapons and fighter jets from Russia to strengthen their military; Iran will have the sanctions lifted with no proof required that they are in compliance; The President himself admits this deal neither denies nor deters Iran from a nuclear bomb--only delays. Meanwhile, Iran continues to chant ``death to America'' and ``death to Israel,'' and it continues to imprison four Americans--the same Iran that supplies weapons and help to terrorists throughout the world. The Iran nuclear deal makes the Middle East and the world far more perilous and war inevitable. It is naive and dangerous to believe otherwise. The American people rightly oppose this deal, and I oppose this deal. For the sake of peace, Congress must oppose this deal. ____________________
