Mr. Speaker, tomorrow marks 2 years since the previous administration capitulated to the dangerous Iran deal, a one-sided agreement that rewarded the regime in Tehran with a $1.7 billion ransom of pallets of unmarked currency for four hostages and put our allies, including Israel, at risk. The Iran deal emboldened the authoritarian regime. Just last month, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley correctly pointed out that Tehran has engaged in destructive and destabilizing actions, both testing ballistic missiles and engaging in arms smuggling. This week, Senators Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and David Perdue, sent a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson urging him not to certify Iran's compliance with the Iran deal as the deadline approaches. Refusing to certify Iran's compliance with the Iran deal would send a clear message that President Donald Trump is committed to peace through strength and refuses to comply with a ridiculous deal that puts American families at risk. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
