CERTIFY THAT IRAN IS IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH THE JCPOA
(Mr. CONNOLLY asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to call upon President Trump
to certify that Iran is in full compliance with the JCPOA, otherwise
known as the Iran nuclear agreement. To decertify at this time will
destabilize the ability of the United States to engage in international
agreements, especially those we initiated ourselves.
Our credibility is on the line, especially given the fact that the
IAEA and the United Nations and the United States Government have
certified that Iran is in compliance. It is in compliance on its
centrifuges, enriched uranium, the production of the plutonium reactor
itself.
We want to make sure that we don't have a second nuclear front by
decertifying Iran. It is important to the United States' interests, to
the security of the world, and the security of Israel that this
agreement be certified as in compliance.
