“Volatile” Iran as reason why Rep. Webster voted down nuke deal

Congressman Daniel Webster issued a statement explaining why he voted against the nuclear deal brokered between world powers and  Iran.
“Central to the unrest in the Middle East, Iran looms as a volatile country with a heinous record of human rights violations. The Iranian government is a threat to democracy with their support of radical militant groups, and is an economic fuel to terrorist organizations across the region.
“The core issue is this: Iran cannot be trusted. Time and again, they have proven their hostility toward the United States, our allies, and the cause of freedom.
“Today, I voted for legislation that prohibits the President from suspending or limiting the sanctions that Congress has strategically placed on Iran, and restricts the White House from removing the dangerous foreign terrorists listed within the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action signed in Vienna. I do not support the proposed nuclear deal with Iran and will continue to call for stronger oversight regarding Iran’s ultimate goal to achieve a nuclear weapon.”
Rep. Dennis Ross also voted against the Iran deal.
“On this somber day of September 11, we are reminded of the horrific acts of terrorism and evil in our world, and I refuse to let the President pull the wool over America’s eyes in thinking this deal will help prevent terrorist attacks. I will continue to stand up for America and its people and fight against this deal, and I call on all of my colleagues to stand strong and do the same.”
