House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul today released the following statement on the implementation of the Iran deal.

"I have said from the start that the Iran deal was little more than a negotiation with terrorists. And now with its implementation, we can see clearly one of the dangers it will bring to the free world. The Administration is unfreezing billions of dollars for the Iranian government, which will enhance its bankrolling of terrorism, perpetuate its repression, and fuel its efforts to oppose America and our allies in the region and beyond. Incredibly, the Administration has even made a direct payment of $1.7 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars to Iran. History will not be kind in judging this blatant appeasement of a rogue regime. That is why we will continue to do everything we can in Congress to check Iranian aggression and to prevent the White House from treating America's adversaries like its allies."
