Rep. Ros-Lehtinen pushes for more sanctions against Iran

“Mr. Speaker, Congress needs to remain engaged. We need to continue our oversight. We need to use all the tools that we have available to us, including strengthening and increasing sanctions against this regime, in order to ensure that the President does not sign an agreement that is not in our national security interests”, said Ros- Lehtinen.

On November 17, 2014 Rep. ROS-LEHTINEN asked for and was granted permission to address the United States House of Representatives for one minute regarding the issue of Iran:

“Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, at 1 p.m., Congressman Ted Deutch and I will convene a subcommittee hearing on the dangers of a nuclear deal with Iran, the dangers that this could pose for the United States and global security interests.

Retired General Michael Hayden, former Director of both the NSA and the CIA, will be testifying to share his concerns about Iran’s past weaponization efforts and the guarantees needed to monitor and verify this agreement. In fact, he has warned that, were he still in his role as CIA Director, he “would feel compelled to advise the President that the agreement could not be adequately verified.”

Mr. Speaker, Congress needs to remain engaged. We need to continue our oversight. We need to use all the tools that we have available to us, including strengthening and increasing sanctions against this regime, in order to ensure that the President does not sign an agreement that is not in our national security interests.”

President Obama: “Iran will never have a nuclear weapon – I made that clear when I came into office…we then organized the strongest coalition and strongest sanction against Iran in history. And it is crippling their economy. Their currency has dropped %80 percent, their oil production has plunged to the lowest level since they were fighting a war with Iran. Their economy is in a shambles…” Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUtcFGdVecI
