Bera Announces Support for Iran Agreement, Urges Strong Enforcement
Washington, DC,
September 11, 2015
"After multiple classified and unclassified briefings, hearing constituent input, and talking with our international allies it's my belief that this is the best agreement we have at this time to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. With the growing likelihood that this agreement will be approved, my support is based on the robust accountability, transparency, and enforcement measures in this agreement so that, if Iran violates any provision, we will know and they will face immediate consequences. All options should be on the table, including military action. We must also ensure our allies, particularly Israel, have the resources necessary to protect themselves and to counteract potential future destabilization. We must take steps now to ensure this agreement is fully enforced and after 15 years leaves us in a better position and has diminished Iran's nuclear capability." |
