Boehner: Deal ‘an alarming departure’ from original White House goals
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHouse Speaker John Boehner says he’s concerned about an emerging nuclear agreement with Iran and says he wants Congress to review details of any pact before sanctions are lifted.
In a written statement, AP reports, the Ohio Republican says his visit to the Middle East this week leaves him worried about Iran’s efforts to spread terrorism. He says it would be naive to think Tehran won’t use its nuclear program and any easing of economic sanctions “to further destabilize the region.”
Boehner calls Thursday’s outline of a deal “an alarming departure” from the White House’s original goals.
Boehner spokesman Kevin Smith says President Barack Obama has spoken to the speaker, but Smith declines to provide further details.
