Graham Legislation on Iran headed to President’s Desk

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) applauded the House of Representatives for passing the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, which requires President Obama to submit any deal with Iran regarding its nuclear program to the Congress for review. Graham was one of the original authors of the legislation. Last week it passed the Senate 98-1 and today passed the House of Representatives 400-25. The legislation will now be sent to President Obama who has reluctantly said he will sign it into law. Graham said, “As one of the primary authors of this legislation, I’m very proud of the House of Representatives for passing the important legislation. Iran cannot be trusted. This legislation ensures the American people will have the opportunity to understand the details of any deal that may be entered into with the Iranians regarding their nuclear program. The American people, and their elected representatives, will be able to look at the content of the agreement, debate the consequences, and vote as to whether or not it’s a good deal for the United States. I believe any deal should be verifiable and include conditions to ensure Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon. A good deal with Iran would be a blessing while a bad deal would be a nightmare. I cannot think of a worse scenario for our national security than a bad deal with Iran.”
