As part of the Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action, JCPOA, agreement to curb Iran’s nuclear program, the International Atomic Energy Agency released a report in December on Iran’s past nuclear activities.
 
The report found Iran, contrary to its public assertions, tried to build a nuclear weapon. It never got past the initial stages, and there is no evidence of attempts beyond 2009, according to the report.
 
Critics of the Iran deal said the report showed Tehran cannot be trusted to carry out its end of the agreement.
 
Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said, the United States needs to take other actions to curtail Iran’s support for terrorists and the country’s human rights violations, according to The Hill on Jan. 3rd, 2016.
 
He encouraged President Obama to detail “what we’re going about what sanctions and other things, what steps we’re going to take deal with their non-nuclear, terrorism and other activities, including arming of Hezbollah.”
 
The administration is reportedly considering a new round of sanctions against Iran following a missile test in October, though there’s no timeline for enacting the sanctions.
  
“I hope that for the New Year, we’ll be able to put things in perspective that we’ll act in accordance with our traditions as a good and compassionate people.”
