IRANIAN NUCLEAR DEAL SUPPORTS TERRORISM
(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, the fantasy Iranian
nuclear deal went into effect on January 16, giving the Iranian regime
billions of dollars to support terrorism, expand its ballistic missile
program, and threaten American families with attacks.
Just 2 weeks ago Secretary of State John Kerry admitted that some of
the funds would go to terrorist groups. What is worse, the Secretary
believes there is no way to prevent the funds from supporting terrorist
activity to kill American families. We must and should be clear that
the United States has zero tolerance for terrorism or regimes that
support terrorism.
I am grateful to cosponsor the bipartisan Zero Tolerance for Terror
Act. This critical legislation gives Congress the ability to act
quickly and effectively when Iran violates the existing restrictions.
We should take every effort to protect American families and our
Persian Gulf allies from an irrational regime that promotes ``death to
America, death to Israel.''
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his
actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on
terrorism.
