Iran Statement

Statement

Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO-05) released the following statement regarding President Trump's announcement on the Iran Deal:

"Former President Obama's disastrous nuclear deal with Iran gave the Islamic Regime hundreds of millions of dollars to export terrorism around the world and more gravely, a path to nuclear weapons. The deal made no mention of Iran's ballistic missiles program, their human rights abuses, and ultimately allows Iran to start proliferating after the deal expires. I am pleased that President Trump decided to address this issue with clarity so that we can get back to protecting America from Iran's hegemonic and catastrophic ambitions."

"We can only start to address the failings of President Obama's nuclear deal if we are honest about what Iran is doing now. It is a welcome change to have an Administration that takes Iran at its word that they want to destroy our country, our allies, and our way of life. Understanding this threat is the only way we can make our country safe again. I echo President Trump's gratitude to Israel for uncovering key intelligence that helped in the decision to pull out of the deal, and I also extend the same message of hope to the Iranian people suffering under this brutal regime. I look forward to working with President Trump to ensure that America and her allies are safe from a world with a nuclear Iran."
