                           IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow at 1 p.m. Congressman Ted 
Deutch and I will convene a hearing on the threats that an Iran nuclear 
deal will have for global security.
  We are just 5 days away from the deadline, and this is what is airing 
right now on Iranian State-run television: ``Iran will not even go back 
one step from the research and development and the enrichment of 
uranium.''
  This leading ayatollah also threatens U.S. military bases and Israel 
saying that Iranian ballistic missiles can ``hit and raze to the ground 
anyplace in Israel as well as any American base in the region.'' State-
run television.
  Iran continues to make these overt threats to us and to our ally, the 
democratic Jewish state of Israel, yet President Obama engages this 
evil regime as if the nuclear program exists in a vacuum.
  Mr. Speaker, this is an obtuse and dangerous way to approach the 
greatest threat to global security, and Congress must not allow any 
deal with Iran to leave in place the possibility that the regime can 
obtain a nuclear weapon.
