Lance Statement on Iran

WASHINGTON. D.C. — Congressman Leonard Lance (NJ-07), co-chair of the Republican Israel Caucus, released the following statement after the President’s announcement regarding the Iran Deal:

“The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action negotiated by the Obama Administration was a deeply flawed agreement.  It was defeated in the House and would have been defeated in the Senate if it had been permitted to come up for a vote.  President Trump says he’s willing to consider a new nuclear deal – one that ensures all paths to a nuclear Iran are blocked.  I share this objective and call on the Administration and our European allies to come together to the table and craft a new, stronger Iranian nuclear agreement that will receive majority support on Capitol Hill.”
