WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) released the following statement on the interim agreement on Iran’s nuclear program:
“According to the interim agreement regarding Iran’s nuclear program that was reached this weekend in Geneva, not one centrifuge will be destroyed. Not one pound of enriched uranium will leave Iran. Not one American unjustly detained in Iran’s notorious prisons will be released. But Iran will start to receive, in a matter of days, $7 billion in relief from international economics sanctions.
“All the smiling embraces between diplomats after the interim deal was signed notwithstanding, the Iranian regime remains a brutal and oppressive dictatorship that pursues nuclear weapons for the purpose of dominating the Middle East and threatening America and our allies, notably Israel. President Obama and Secretary Kerry should reconsider their policy of rapprochement with Iran that is dismaying to Jerusalem and encouraging to Tehran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu predicted this agreement would be a ‘very, very bad deal’ and has now correctly identified it as an ‘historic mistake.’ Meanwhile, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani tweeted his satisfaction as the ‘breaking down the architecture for sanctions has begun.’ The administration has gotten it backwards and it is time to reverse course before any further damage is done.”
We have sold out our long time friend of Israel so our Muslim dictator can cut a deal with his faith. Very few of our military people agree with this. The good news is Israel will not turn belly up for politics and wipe them out at any hint their nuclear program is expanding. They are a terrorist nation and laughing at the USA now.
@Joe-You are correct. Obama never listens to anyone but his political advisers. That is part of what continues to get him in trouble with his lies. The other part is he is stupid. Any good manager knows to listen to the people who work for him. They are smarter about what they do than he will ever be.
Next president of the USA!!
I have to agree with Ted on this one. This is not a good deal for anyone but Iran and Obama and Kerry are pounding their chests. They are nothing but a couple of wimps.
