As President Donald Trump is set to make an announcement this afternoon regarding the failed nuclear agreement with Iran, I want to again express my continued opposition to this deal and thank President Trump for his determination. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has revealed compelling revelations in the last week of Iranian duplicity. This was a reckless and dangerous deal from the start. It never served the interests of American families, and it continues to threaten the safety and security of our allies, especially Israel. In just 7 years, there will be nothing stopping the Iranian dictatorship from constructing nuclear weapons as they chant ``death to Israel, death to America'' while they oppress the Iranian people. In addition, President Obama authorized a cash ransom of $1.7 billion to Iran to release five innocent Americans. This deal promoted Iran's monetary support for terrorist groups Hezbollah, Hamas, and militias that plant IEDs to murder Americans. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
