Smith Responds to Iran Deal

 

Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) issued the following statement today after the Obama administration announced its new nuclear agreement with Iran. 
“With the Obama administration unveiling its nuclear agreement with Iran, it is crucial for Congress to fulfill its oversight role to ensure any deal is in the best interests of the U.S. and our allies,” Smith said. “I plan on fully and carefully reviewing this agreement, but I am already skeptical and concerned about reports of certain concessions we are giving to Iran, such as no inspections at military sites and not securing the release of the Americans imprisoned there. Lifting sanctions without major concessions from Iran would be a terrible mistake.”
