AJCongress still ‘concerned’ about Iran threat
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAmerican Jewish Congress president Jack Rosen says that he remains “concerned” about Iran’s nuclear program regardless of the nuclear deal.
“While we appreciate the diplomatic efforts made by President Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry and the negotiating team, we remain concerned about the threat of a nuclear Iran in the relatively near future, and its undiminished capacity to support violence in the region,” Rosen writes in a statement.
He calls on Congress to scrutinize and debate the deal: “The American people expect the United States Congress to engage in a robust, thorough review of this deal, and to provide its own assessment regarding the agreement’s impact on the security of the United States, its regional allies and the entire world.”
