Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa
House of Representatives
Washington, DC
Chairwoman Ros-Lehtinen on the hearing: “The latest IAEA reports show that Iran is still not complying with its obligations to either, the IAEA or the P5+1. Outstanding questions on the possible military dimension are very troubling and indicate Iran is attempting to deceive and circumvent the international community. If Iran won’t comply with the IAEA now, we’ll have an even harder time verifying its nuclear program if a comprehensive agreement is reached. This just goes to show what many of us fear, and what the administration continues to ignore: there is no way to fully monitor and verify Iran’s program, and that’s why the only option must be a complete dismantling of its nuclear program. This hearing [on March 24th]will give our Members an opportunity to hear from experts in the field on exactly what Iran’s noncompliance with the IAEA means for U.S. and global security as well as the nuclear negotiations.”
Witnesses: Mr. William H. Tobey, Ms. Rebeccah L. Heinrichs and Mr. David Albright
