Fischer Statement on Iran Nuclear Agreement

  
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) released the following statement regarding the proposed agreement between the United States and Iran on nuclear weapon sanctions:
“Today’s announcement on the latest framework for a nuclear deal with Iran is just that – a framework. Between now and the proposed June 30thtimeframe of a final agreement, anything involving a nuclear deal with Iran can change. My bottom line has been and always will be a nuclear-free Iran. 
“The United States began this process with a policy of prevention, and now it has been winnowed down to a loose framework to contain Iran’s ambition. To date, the sanctions we have imposed on Iran are clearly working. The Iranian economy has been severely damaged due to their government’s reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons. But absent any final agreement, nothing involving Iran’s nuclear threat to our country has changed.
“Congress must have a role in any final agreement and I will continue to support legislative proposals to achieve that.”
