McCarthy Joins Growing Opposition To Iran Deal

SECURITY

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has spoken on the floor of the House of Representatives against a nuclear deal with Iran:

  • McCarthy: '48 hours ago, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard fired dozens of missiles near the US consulate in Iraq. And yet, the Biden admin is quietly rushing ahead with a bad agreement to give Iran’s regime nuclear weapons. It's even worse than Obama's Iran Deal.'
  • McCarthy joins the 49 of the 50 GOP senators who yesterday officially declared their opposition to a deal with Iran. They wrote:
  • ‘The administration appears to have agreed to lift sanctions that were not even placed on Iran for its nuclear activities in the first place, but instead because of its ongoing support for terrorism and its gross abuses of human rights.
  • The letter goes on: ‘Republicans will do everything in our power to reverse it. Unless Iran ceases its support for terrorism, we will oppose removing and seek to reimpose any terrorism-related sanctions. And we will force the Senate to vote on any Administration effort to do so.’
