                   IRAN HAS VIOLATED THE NUCLEAR DEAL

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, this week it was revealed that Iran tested 
medium-range ballistic missiles. By doing so, Iran has now violated the 
nuclear deal that was agreed to over objection of a majority of this 
House in July, which calls on Iran to end its ballistic missile program 
for 8 years.
  Iran is also now in violation of two United Nations Security Council 
resolutions. Like many of my colleagues in the House, I opposed the 
Iran nuclear deal because of the likelihood that Iran would cheat and 
the Obama administration would refuse to hold them accountable and 
reimpose sanctions.
  So far, there has been no response from the Obama administration on 
snapping back the sanctions into place. Because of that, Iran will 
continue to enjoy more and more of the plus $100 billion in unfrozen 
assets that they have not been accessible to.
  If Iran is allowed to break the agreement without consequences, it 
will only encourage more bad behavior and unrest in the Middle East.
