AMERICAN FAMILIES ARE LESS SAFE
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, last Sunday the
President's Iranian nuclear deal, a tragic mistake, went into effect.
Instead of making the world safer, as promised, American families have
become less safe. As reported in The Post and Courier of Charleston,
since the Iran deal was reached, the Iranian regime tested a ballistic
missile that could reach Israel, in direct violation of U.N.
resolutions.
After the test of the missile, the Iranian defense minister said:
``We don't ask permission from anyone.'' This does not come as a
surprise. We know the Iranian regime cannot be trusted. Sadly, it is
shocking that the President has dismissed the Iranian regime's flagrant
disregard of international rules and still insists that Iran will
uphold their part of the deal.
The evidence is overwhelming that the Iranian regime will break the
agreement, with billions of dollars for new attacks. The President's
legacy is American families at risk of terrorist attacks by jihadists
and a rogue regime oppressing the people of Iran.
In conclusion, God bless our troops. The President, by his actions,
must never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
Tomorrow is the gruesome 32nd anniversary of the murder of 241
Americans at the marine barracks in Beirut by Iran. Our sympathy for
their families.
