Rep. Gutierrez Supports Iran Nuclear Agreement as " A Matter of War and Peace"

Press Release

Today, Rep. Luis V. Gutiérrez (D-IL) responded to news that the U.S., Iran, and partner nations had reached an agreement to limit Iran's nuclear ambitions. Rep. Luis V. Gutiérrez represents the Fourth District of Illinois, is a Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, is a Member of the Judiciary Committee and the Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, and is the Co-Chair of the Immigration Task Force of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

The following is a statement by Rep. Gutiérrez:

"This is a matter of war and peace. With the agreement, we are giving peace a chance. War is almost never the right answer to any question, but it is always an option. Skeptics and critics need to give this a chance to work because the consequences are so high and the prospects for a peaceful resolution of Iran's nuclear ambitions are fragile. If actions by Iran invalidate the agreement and necessitate a different, aggressive, military strategy, there is nothing that prevents that in the future."
