Political Stances on Iran Nuclear Deal

“As I have said many times, the Iran Deal was one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into... we got weak inspections in exchange for no more than a purely short-term and temporary delay in Iran's path to nuclear weapons.”

“This deal is a fundamental betrayal of the security of the United States and our allies. It does not stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon; instead, it provides a trillion-dollar windfall to the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, while essentially guaranteeing they will eventually obtain the very weapons they seek to use against us.”

“Based on the transcript of Senator Tom Cotton's remarks at the Council on Foreign Relations, here is a representative quote expressing his opposition to the Iran Nuclear Deal: Tom Cotton "The Iran deal poses a direct national-security threat. The sensible course, then, is to decline to certify the deal, begin the work of strengthening it and counteracting Iranian aggression, with the threat of sanctions and military action if necessary... The deal didn’t block Iran’s path to the bomb; it paved that path.”
