U.S. Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, announced that the Committee will convene a hearing entitled “Implications of a Nuclear Agreement with Iran to examine the Iran nuclear agreement on Wednesday, September 9.
The hearing will be the latest in a series of Committee hearings to examine the Obama Administration’s nuclear deal with Iran. The hearings are part of the 60-day Congressional review period.
Chairman Royce said: “This agreement is fatally flawed. The Obama Administration has committed to providing Iran permanent sanctions relief from the U.S. in return for temporary and inadequate constraints on Iran’s nuclear program. It will permit Iran to launch an industrial-scale nuclear program after 10 years, continue to block international inspectors from its secret nuclear facilities, hide its past work on a nuclear weapon, and emerge with its record wiped clean. This hearing is part of a series to examine the nuclear agreement and discuss ways to mitigate the fallout from this bad deal.”
