IRAN SCOFFS AT AGREEMENTS
(Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, Iran once again has blatantly scoffed
at the West by breaking its agreements.
Just this last week, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps test-
fired several ballistic missiles. The missiles were reportedly designed
to hit our ally Israel and were inscribed in Hebrew, ``Israel must be
wiped out.''
Under U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231, Iran is forbidden from
undertaking any work on missiles designed to deliver nuclear weapons.
But the Iranians will do what suits them. The West--specifically, the
United States--probably will do nothing about this test. The Ayatollah
conveniently breaks international agreements.
Under the same U.N. agreement, the Ayatollah is prohibited from
buying conventional arms for the next 5 years, but the Ayatollah broke
his word again. The U.N. agreement has not stopped Iran from
negotiating an arms sale with the saber-rattling Russians.
Mr. Speaker, the ink is barely dry on the so-called deal that the
Obama administration made with Iran. Iran is a rogue nation determined
to destroy the United States and Israel. Meanwhile, the United States
sits blissfully by and just wrings its hands.
Iran must be stopped. Sanctions must be enforced, and eventually the
citizens of Iran must change their government.
And that is just the way it is.
