Congressman J. Randy Forbes (VA-04), Chairman of the House Armed Services Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee, released the following statement in response to the Obama Administration’s announcement that negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran over its nuclear program have resulted in a deal to end economic sanctions.
“I continue to have grave concerns about the impact of the Administration’s nuclear deal with Iran on security in the region, as well as doubts that an increasingly aggressive Iran – as a U.S. designated state-sponsor of terrorism and the developer of a robust ballistic missile capability – can or should be trusted to uphold their end of the agreement.”
Now, Congress has a 60 day period to review the agreement and vote over whether or not it will lift Congressionally mandated sanctions on Iran.
