It provided Iran with vast resources that it could funnel into missile tests that could enable them to launch a nuclear weapon on the American homeland.

It prohibited us from using our most powerful sanctions against the full range of Iranian aggression, but only imposed restrictions against some of Iran’s nuclear activities – and even then, only temporarily. As a result, the region is now potentially on the brink of war.

The deal was also unenforceable on its own terms.

It trusted the Iranians to enforce restrictions against themselves, and as a result – as the recent presentation by Israeli Prime Minister @Netanyahu made clear – significant parts of Iran’s nuclear weapons program went undetected.

The terms also included incentives and concessions to sweeten the deal even further for Iran, including placing some of their nuclear activities under international sponsorship.

There is little doubt that Iran poses an immediate threat to the United States.

Iran is the world’s foremost state sponsors of terrorism and has been caught plotting to launch attacks on American soil. They have sought to acquire nuclear weapons. They continue to hold American citizens hostage.

Iran's money laundering and terror financing operations poison the global financial system that we rely on for continued prosperity.
