IRAN'S CONCESSIONS UPDATE
(Mr. QUIGLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge the U.N. Security
Council to reject Iran's attempt to continue down the path of nuclear
proliferation.
Iran would have us believe that the nuclear deal it reached with
Brazil and Turkey was of the same caliber as the offer Tehran rejected
in October. The truth is, it's not even close. This agreement would
allow Iran to pursue richer-grade uranium, keep more of its nuclear
materials, and maintain access to the dangerous supplies it would send
to Turkey.
The Security Council must recognize the severity of this threat posed
by a nuclear Iran. It must choose a deal based on substance over
convenience. But most of all, it must remember the safety and security
of the State of Israel and the Israeli people.
In the face of Iran's latest diplomatic diversion, it is more
important than ever that we levy real sanctions against a nation bent
on destroying a friend. The future of Israel--our most important ally--
depends on it.
