                       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.
