Statement

Issues: Defense Foreign Affairs

Following the announcement today by the Administration on a so-called nuclear deal with regime of Iran, Congressman Curt Clawson (FL-19) a Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, made the following statement:

"With mounting concern on the details over the Administration's deal with the regime of Iran, the world's largest state-sponsor or terrorism, it is not in the interest of the American people to have the deal ratified by the United Nations before Congress can speak with a united voice. A deal with Iran is the Administration's "Flounder' moment. We all know what happens in Animal House when Flounder gave the keys to his brother's car to his fraternity brothers. Why are we giving the keys to nuclear technology to the largest state-sponsor of terrorism in the world, who has also called for the elimination of Israel, our strongest ally in the region. Today I join with many others, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, in saying, "No deal is better than a bad deal.'"
