                         THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

  (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, as President Donald Trump 
is set to make an announcement this afternoon regarding the failed 
nuclear agreement with Iran, I want to again express my continued 
opposition to this deal and thank President Trump for his 
determination.
  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has revealed compelling revelations 
in the last week of Iranian duplicity. This was a reckless and 
dangerous deal from the start. It never served the interests of 
American families, and it continues to threaten the safety and security 
of our allies, especially Israel.
  In just 7 years, there will be nothing stopping the Iranian 
dictatorship from constructing nuclear weapons as they chant ``death to 
Israel, death to America'' while they oppress the Iranian people.
  In addition, President Obama authorized a cash ransom of $1.7 billion 
to Iran to release five innocent Americans. This deal promoted Iran's 
monetary support for terrorist groups Hezbollah, Hamas, and militias 
that plant IEDs to murder Americans.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
