Garrett Calls on President Obama to Address Iran Missile Tests

Statement

Rep. Scott Garrett (NJ-05), issued the following statement after Iran violated U.N. security council resolutions by testing ballistic missiles:

"Despite the opposition of the American people and the majority of Congress, President Obama signed a dangerous nuclear deal with Iran. As predicted by myself and my colleagues, we have seen little-to-no change in Iran's behavior as they continue to break international agreements. Yesterday, we learned that the Iranian regime tested a ballistic missile--the second they've tested since the deal was signed. This clearly violates U.N. security council resolutions, including the same U.N. resolution that endorsed the Iran deal. In addition to these tests, a recent IAEA report found that Iran has pursued nuclear weapons as recently as 2009.

"The administration cannot sit idly by as Iran continues to violate international agreements, and I call on them to take these violations seriously. It's obvious that Iran has ambitions to create nuclear weapons, and therefore the United States should continue the economic sanctions that successfully brought this tyrannical regime to the negotiating table. The safety and security of the United States and its allies is my top priority, and I will continue to fight to keep nuclear weapons out of Iran."
