Congressman Steve Cohen, a Jewish Democrat representative from Tennessee, announces his support for the Iran deal.

“Through my intense study of this agreement, I am convinced that it is the most effective way to ensure Iran cannot build a nuclear weapon,” he says in a statement. “The agreement represents global consensus on that point as well, and its long term success relies on the ongoing support and hard work of all involved nations, who I am convinced will continue to work together to guarantee compliance.”

“This agreement will make the world safer from nuclear attack, and it is a far better option than simply doing nothing,” he adds.
