Menendez continues to bash the nuclear deal, says new legislation is needed to fill in holes, noting various cases where Iran has shown it is not acting in good faith.
“We’ve seen $1.7 billion in American money go to Iran,” he says, adding that it was paid so quickly, terror victims who won judgments against Iran could not claim the money.
He says Iran has the largest arsenal in Middle East, which can deliver chemical and biological weapons, and is developing a space program.
He says the sanctions imposed by US are not robust enough.
“Clearly Iran will never change … for all these reason I am introducing legislation that will fill empty holes left by JPOA,” he tells AIPAC members, asking them to lobby for his bill when they go to the Hill later today.
He bashes Trump again and says there is no being “neutral on Israel.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
