Rokita on Iran Nuclear Agreement

Statement

Representative Todd Rokita (IN-04) issued the following statement after the Obama Administration's announcement of a final agreement on Iran's nuclear program:

"If news accounts are accurate, I can already tell that the President conceded entirely too much to Iran, a known sponsor of terror.

"This deal enables more violence and instability in the region. Iran, the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world, would have access to $100 billion in frozen funds under the flawed logic of this "deal.' Yet there is nothing in this deal that would then prevent Iran from providing even more aid to Hezbollah or any other terrorists. Who honestly believes that the infusion of $100 billion will go to helping families live better lives? It will go right to the terrorists Iran sponsors.

"Congress now has 60 days to review this agreement. I will carefully review the details of this pending deal to ensure Iran is prevented from moving forward with a nuclear weapon program. I refuse to support any agreement that jeopardizes the safety of the American people or our friends and will fight against policies that have dramatic and negative effects to our national security."
