Rep. Dennis Ross (R – Lakeland) uses acerbic language to throw his support behind Netanyahu’s speech and concerns about Iran’s nuclear program. **
“President Obama must stop making concessions during the ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran,” Ross warns. “Iran has the largest and most diverse missile arsenal in the Middle East and is in the process of developing a longer range missile capable of reaching our homeland.”
“I stand with Prime Minister Netanyahu, and I urge our president to do the same,” Ross says in a statement.
The legislator says that he met with Netanyahu only two weeks ago to discuss the threat posed by Tehran. “A nuclear armed Iran is a threat to America, Israel and the entire world,” he warns.
