David Perdue (R-GA): “President Trump is right to take strong action against Iran … Earlier this year, I supported the President’s decision to decertify. The deal enriched Iranian regime and empowered it to destabilize the Middle East.” This agreement was so bad that bipartisan majorities in both chambers of Congress voted against it after the last Administration refused to submit it as a legally-binding treaty under the Constitution. Marco Rubio (R-FL): “I’m glad that President Trump decided today to withdraw from the flawed Iran nuclear deal and impose crippling economic and financial sanctions against the Iranian regime. The fact is the Iran deal guaranteed a nuclear future for Iran - a patient pathway to a nuclear bomb.” Cory Gardner (R-CO): “I think the Iran deal was flawed from the beginning. Tough sanctions are a first step toward rolling back Iran’s campaign of terror, but it won’t be the last.” Tom Cotton (R-AR): “The Iran nuclear deal, terribly flawed from the beginning, at best only delayed Iran from getting the bomb while handing over hundreds of billions in sanctions relief, money that Iran uses to support terrorism and build long-range missiles. It was a terrible idea for the United States & our allies then, and time has not improved it. Richard Shelby (R-AL): “I was vehemently opposed to the #Iran nuclear deal from the start. Through his action today, President Trump sent a strong signal to Iran and other foreign adversaries that nuclear proliferation has consequences … I support smart diplomacy to keep America safe, but we must oppose bad deals that give our enemies a pathway to a nuclear bomb, which is why I applaud the President’s actions.” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA): “The Iran Deal is a bad deal. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY): “The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action represented a deeply flawed agreement which President Trump has determined is not in the national security interests of the United States … I share the objective and commitment made by the President that Iran should never be able to acquire or develop a nuclear weapon.” The president’s announcement today is a strong statement that we can and must do better.” Iran’s hostile actions since its signing have only reaffirmed that it remains dedicated to sowing instability in the region. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI): “From the beginning, the Obama-era Iran Deal was deeply flawed.
