Rubio, Cruz, Colleagues Urge President to Submit Any New Iran Deal to Congress for Approval

Press Release

U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and 31 Senate colleagues sent a letter to President Joe Biden rebuking the Administration's ongoing negotiations for a new Iran nuclear deal. In the letter, the senators emphasized that the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act (INARA) requires the President to submit any Iran deal to Congress -- and that they will block implementation of any deal not submitted.

"We write to call attention to a range of obligations that your administration is statutorily mandated to fulfill in relation to Congressional oversight over any such agreement, and to ensure that your officials know we are committed to providing availability, assistance, and resources so you can fully meet these mandates," the senators wrote. "We also write to emphasize that we are committed to using the full range of options and leverage available to United States Senators to ensure that you meet those obligations, and that the implementation of any agreement will be severely if not terminally hampered if you do not."

Rubio is a senior member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
