NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS WITH IRAN
(Mrs. WAGNER asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Mrs. WAGNER. Mr. Speaker, I come to the floor today to speak about
one of our greatest national security challenges: the threat of a
nuclear-armed Iran.
I am deeply troubled by the Obama administration's recent 7-month
extension of nuclear negotiations with Iran. The extension means that
Iran will continue to have access to $700 million a month in sanctions
relief.
Every day that we continue these talks is another day given to Iran
to develop a nuclear weapon. A nuclear-armed Iran would start a new
arms race in the Middle East and pose an intolerable threat to the
national security of the United States and our allies, especially
Israel.
The House has passed H.R. 850, the Nuclear Iran Prevention Act, which
would increase sanctions on the Iranian regime. Now it is time for the
United States Senate to do its part and pass legislation that would
impose additional sanctions on Iran.
