Mr. ROUZER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to this so-called Iran deal because it paves the way for Iran to obtain nuclear capabilities that will not only threaten Israel and create an arms race in the Middle East, but will also be a direct threat to America.

Time and time again, the Government of Iran has demonstrated its unwillingness to be transparent and open regarding their nuclear arms development and fraudulent behavior. Let's not forget that we just recently discovered two of their secret nuclear facilities, and who knows how many more they have.

The sanctions relief included as part of this deal guarantees that Iran, the world's number one sponsor of terrorism, will have billions more to fund their evil acts. And if there is any confusion, Iran's stated intentions of wiping Israel off the face of the Earth and its public chants of ``death to America'' make their intentions very clear.

Mr. Speaker, America has always stood for what is right--the greatest force for good mankind has ever known. Let's keep it that way and defeat this agreement.
