Isakson Statement on Announcement of Nuclear Agreement with Iran
“I will not be part of any
agreement that allows the Iranians to develop a nuclear weapon that
could harm the state of Israel, the country of the United States of
America or any other peace-loving
country in the world.”
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., today released the following statement on the announcement of a final agreement
reached in nuclear negotiations with Iran:
“As
a member of the United States Senate, and of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, I have a critical role in judgment over the deal
that’s been made by the president of the United States and
the Iranian government.
“Iranians
have never proven to be a trustworthy negotiator, nor have they been
trustworthy in their actions with the United States. Iran has said that
we are their stated enemy.
“I
will study the deal closely, I will do my responsibility, I will read
the appendices and I’ll go to all the briefings, both the secure and
unsecure. But I will promise you this: I will not be
part of any agreement that allows the Iranians to develop a nuclear
weapon that could harm the state of Israel, the country of the United
States of America or any other peace-loving country in the world.
“This vote may be the most important
vote I ever cast as a member of the Senate or the Congress. This vote is
about the future of our country, peace in the Middle East, the sanctity
of our country,
peace for our children and peace for our grandchildren. This is a vote
which I will take seriously and I will make sure I do the right thing
for the American people.”
