U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan blasted an agreement reached Tuesday to curb Iran’s nuclear program as “a terrible deal.”
Ryan, R-Janesville, whose district includes all of Racine County, released a statement Tuesday afternoon that was highly critical of the arrangement.
“This is a terrible deal,” the statement read. “It will not prevent Iran from expanding its nuclear programs, and it will only delay its development of nuclear weapons. The Administration has mishandled these negotiations from the start and agreeing to this deal will make the Middle East a more dangerous place.
“Lifting the sanctions prematurely on Iran is a mistake, allowing the ban related to ballistic missiles to lapse is foolish, and trusting a violent Iranian regime that has been nothing but hostile to America is an error we cannot afford to make. In short, the deal between the Administration and Iran will make America and our allies less secure, and Congress should reject it.” 
Congress has a 60-day review period during which Obama cannot make good on any concessions to the Iranians. U.S. lawmakers could hold a vote of disapproval and take further action.
