Cárdenas Statement On Iran Treaty
(Washington, DC) – Following the Obama Administration announcement of an agreement reached with the Islamic Republic of Iran, U.S. Rep. Tony Cárdenas (D-San Fernando Valley, Calif.) released a statement.
“Our role on the world stage should be one of peacemaker, however, making peace in our interconnected world has never been more complicated.” said Cárdenas. “Negotiation is always the preferred option but we must ensure that any deal does not allow Iran to build a nuclear weapon. We do not know the exact details of this agreement and I look forward to closely evaluating it. I hope to see the framework of a truly effective, impactful treaty that will use transparent, constant verification, which will keep Americans safe, protect our allies in the region and lead to future stability.”
