-Iran's hostility substantially
increased
after the foolish Iran
nuclear deal we signed and 2013,
and they were given
$150 billion,
not to mention $1.
8 billion in cash.
Instead of saying thank you
to the United States,
they chanted
"Death to America."
In fact, they chanted
"Death to America"
the day the agreement
was signed.
Then Iran went on a terror spree
funded by the money
from the deal
and created hell in Yemen,
Syria, Lebanon,
Afghanistan, and Iraq.
The missiles fired last night
at us
and our allies were paid for
with the funds
made available
by the last administration.
The regime also greatly
tightened the reigns
on their own country,
even recently killing 1,500
people at the many protests
that are taking place
all throughout Iran.
The very defective JCPOA expires
shortly anyway
and gives Iran a clear and
quick path to nuclear breakout.
Iran must abandon
its nuclear ambitions
and end its support
for terrorism.
The time has come for the
United Kingdom, Germany,
France, Russia, and China
to recognize this reality.
They must now break away from
the remnants of the Iran deal,
or JCPOA,
and we must all work together
toward making a deal with Iran
that makes the world a safer
and more peaceful place.
We must also make a deal
that allows Iran
to thrive and prosper
and take advantage of its
enormous, untapped potential.
Iran can be a great country.
Peace and stability cannot
prevail in the Middle East
as long as Iran continues
to foment violence,
unrest, hatred, and war.
The civilized world must send
a clear and unified message
to the Iranian regime --
your campaign of terror, murder,
mayhem will not be tolerated
any longer.
It will not be allowed to go
forward.
