As the vivid threats and evidence of chaos in Iran sows instability throughout the Middle East, President Obama and his enablers in the U.S. Senate continue to claim that their deal will not benefit Iran’s terrorism apparatus and that it is in our national interest.
Despite the willingness of Democrats to provide cover for the White House, we still have an opportunity to put the Senate on record. Instead of just giving up and conceding defeat, I’ve argued that we need to try everything in our power to prevent a flawed deal that will have devastating consequences for American security from taking effect.
It is so important that our next president be someone who understands the threats we face and who is willing to fight to defend our security and our interests.
I have stated clearly that I will begin to undo the deal with Iran on day one:
- Iran’s leaders will have to choose between having a nuclear weapons program and having an economy;
- I will back this up with a credible threat of military force if Iran decides to ramp up its program; and
- I will work with Congress to impose tougher sanctions on Iran for its support for terrorism and human rights abuses, rather than treating Congress as an afterthought as this administration has and as far too many Republicans have blindly accepted.
