Rep. Todd Young Responds to News on Iran's Illicit Weapons Procurement, Expected Launch

Statement

"As someone who spent over a decade in the United States military, I firmly believe our citizens security is the most important consideration. No matter how hard President Obama pushes his nuclear deal narrative, the American people cannot and will not feel safe or secure when the Iranian regime is launching nuclear-capable ballistic missiles, taking U.S. military personnel hostage, and spending billions to amass an enormous arsenal of game-changing, offensive weaponry it purchased from the likes of Russia and North Korea."

"Obama's highly unpopular nuclear deal with Iran continues to lose credibility, even among those who initially supported it. Amid blatant acts of aggression toward the U.S. and a paradigm shift that militarily and financially favors the Islamic Republic of Iran, the President still lauds his legacy deal as his greatest diplomatic success. The dangerous developments this week further illustrate why more than 80 lawmakers are behind my bipartisan effort to hold both the Obama White House and the Iranian regime accountable." - Congressman Todd Young (R-IN)
