Sen. Menendez comes out against Iran deal
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSOUTH ORANGE, New Jersey — A second Democratic senator says he’s opposed to the Iran nuclear agreement.
New Jersey’s Bob Menendez says Tuesday in a speech in his home state that he opposes the deal intended to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions.
The senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee joins fellow Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York in rejecting the deal.
Menendez says he is opposed to the agreement because Iran has violated various UN Security Council resolutions while advancing its nuclear program.
He says he is concerned that the agreement doesn’t require Iran to dismantle its nuclear infrastructure.
