Dave Joyce Votes Against President Obama's Iran Deal

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Dave Joyce (OH-14) released the following statement after failure of H.R. 3461, To Approve the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed at Vienna on July 14, 2015, relating to the nuclear program of Iran:

“After deliberately reading through the deal, getting classified briefings and reading the classified documents that were provided to Congress, I voted against this deal because it will not make the United States, our greatest ally Israel, or the Middle East safer,” Rep. Joyce said.

“In the end all this deal will do is serve as a speed bump to Iran eventually creating a nuclear weapon, which will create an arms race in one of the most dangerous and volatile regions of the world.”

“Lastly, I am worried that this deal sets a lasting precedent that it is ok to thwart international law in order to get what you want. By lifting an effective arms embargo and putting Iran on the path to becoming a nuclear nation, we have now rewarded a rogue nation for bad behavior.”

H.R. 3461 failed on a bipartisan vote, 269-162-1.
