Pompeo Questions Whether Iran Deal is Signed by Iran or P5+1

Statement

Congressman Mike Pompeo (R-KS) today sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry regarding the incomplete copy of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that was provided to Congress. The document provided is completely unsigned. None of the members of the P5+1 nor any Iranian leaders have executed the copy of the agreement provided to Congress. In the letter, Pompeo calls on Kerry to provide Congress with a final version of the agreement that includes each party's signature, that confirms each country's commitment to the agreement and "makes clear precisely who the parties to the agreement are and the authority under which that nation entered into the agreement."

Pompeo said: "In addition to negotiating a bad deal that caves to Iranian bullies and serial nuclear cheaters, the administration presented Congress with an incomplete copy of the agreement that fails to provide the full text of the secret side deals between Iran and the IAEA and is missing the signatures of all of the members of the P5+1 and Iran. These signatures are not just a mere formality. They serve as a crucial representation of each country's commitment to upholding the terms of the agreement. While I would like to believe this was simply an oversight, it is likely yet another case of the Obama administration acting like a lazy student turning in unfinished homework without even putting a name on it.

"These concerns are only heightened by the complete contradiction between Secretary Kerry's continued defense of the agreement with statements by Iranians that express their blatant intent to disregard the terms of the deal. Unsigned, it is hard to tell if this document is anything more than just words on paper and just about as enforceable. We must demand that Congress be given a complete and signed copy of the agreement so that we can verify that Iran has bound itself to its requirements under this deal."
