Boehner to President Obama: Don't Back Down on Iran

Press Release

Date: Sept. 26, 2014
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Defense

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement responding to a report that the Obama administration is considering further easing its demands on Iran regarding its nuclear program:

"Iran is a state-sponsor of terror. It has no interest in a stable, strong Iraq. The country has a deplorable human rights record, and it still has American hostages. Furthermore, there is no evidence that Iran intends to comply with honest transparency and accountability measures over its nuclear ambitions. At a time when we are asking other governments in the Middle East to help the United States take on and destroy ISIL, we are giving a pass to Iran, which is the number one threat to the entire region."
