Washington, D.C. - Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on President Trump's decision to not certify the Iran deal:
"In choosing not to certify the Iran deal, President Trump made the right decision. The current deal paves the way to a nuclear weapon for Iran, so Congress and the President must seize this opportunity to fix the deal's grievous flaws. I also welcome the President's announcement of a broad strategy to push back on Iran's support of terrorism, its imperial aggression, and its oppression of the Iranian people. The Iran deal disfigured our wider policy toward Iran, because President Obama was so scared that Iran would scuttle the deal that he pulled his punches on other issues. By not certifying it, President Trump has given Iran a wake-up call and redirected our Iran policy toward advancing U.S. interests and those of our allies."
