Smith Votes Against Iran Deal

Statement

Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) released the following statement today after voting against the Obama administration's deal with Iran.

"The majority of Americans oppose President Obama's deal with Iran because they know trusting the Iranian regime is a reckless, terrible mistake," Smith said. "The Obama administration has a track record of poor foreign policy decisions, and this deal is no exception. It lifts economic sanctions on Iran while ending arms embargoes, clearing the path for the Iranian regime to pursue not only nuclear weapon development but also more terrorist activities against our country and our allies.

"While President Obama will inevitably continue to push his bad deal forward, the House will do everything we can to stop it and allow U.S. negotiators to go back to the table. We must pursue a new agreement which holds Iran accountable and puts our national security first."

Smith also voted in favor of H.R. 3460 to suspend President Obama's authority to lift sanctions on Iran and H. Res. 411, which declares President Obama did not comply with the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act due to his failure to provide documentation on side deals.
