                       IRAN NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS

  (Mr. DOLD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, another deadline has passed, and Iran 
continues to act like it has leverage. What is worse, by its action, 
the administration seems to agree.
  Make no mistake about it, Iran desperately needs a deal to relieve 
its crippling sanctions. Given the parade of U.S. concessions over the 
past 19 months, we are a long way from the starting point of demanding 
that Iran's nuclear program be affirmatively and unequivocally 
dismantled.
  Mr. Speaker, there should be no wiggle room that allows any path to a 
nuclear weapon. Yet Iran's violations of interim agreement have been 
met with shrugs and painful-to-see justifications by this 
administration.
  How can we trust Iran to uphold any deal when it has clearly proven 
untrustworthy?
  Why would we give the greatest state sponsor of terror another $150 
billion that even the administration acknowledges may go to fund 
terrorism against the United States, Israel, other democracies, and our 
allies around the globe?
  It is time to walk away, reestablish our leverage, and force Iran 
back to the table on our terms.
