DEFEAT THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL
(Mr. WENSTRUP asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, the details found within the nuclear Iran
deal are stunning.
The original pledge of anywhere, anytime inspections gave way to a
24-day lead time for Iranians to hide their activities from inspectors.
We now know that Iran has entered into two secret deals with the IAEA
and that the details are not available to the duly elected Members of
this body.
We were told that no deal is better than a bad deal. Yet here we are
with a very bad deal.
The alternative to this deal is not war, as this administration is
fear-mongering, but through strengthened sanctions to continue
international pressure on the largest state sponsor of terrorism.
Without war, we can pursue a nuclear-free Iran through diplomacy by
engaging with our allies and with peace-loving nations and with the
deterrent of military might and effective economic sanctions.
``Do I trust Iran?'' I am asked. Based on the last four decades and
on its recent behavior, I only trust them to cheat.
Congress and the American people must defeat this deal in the
interest of regional stability and our own national security and for
the prospect of peace for future generations of Americans and our
allies.
