Meehan Voices Concern About Iran Deal

Statement

Date: July 14, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: National Security Foreign Affairs

Congressman Patrick Meehan (PA-07) issued the following statement after the announcement of a final deal between Iran, the United States and the other P5+1 powers on Iran's nuclear program:

"The ultimate goal of any agreement with Iran must be to prevent the regime from obtaining nuclear weapons," Meehan said. "There are legitimate concerns that the deal would amount to a cash infusion for Iran, some of which may fund violence abroad. I also have concerns that the agreement's inspections and verification systems are not sufficient to ensure Iran's compliance. In the coming days, I'll be pressing the administration for answers on these issues. I look forward to reviewing the agreement closely with my colleagues and seeking assurance it will improve our own security and the security of our allies like Israel."
