IRAN: Congress, support this deal

| September 4, 2015 9:00 PM

After more than 13 years at war, I’m glad that Congress is turning toward diplomacy and peace. The Iran deal looks like it will move forward through Congress, and I support the 34+ senators who have spoken out in favor of the deal. Hopefully, Senators Crapo and Risch will be among those supporting diplomacy over war.

The Iran deal dramatically shrinks Iran’s nuclear program, gives international inspectors unprecedented access, and could open diplomatic channels for the U.S. and others to finally end enduring conflicts in the region.

Now is the time for peace. Now is the time for diplomacy. Now is the time for Congress to support the Iran deal.
