Iran: A Diplomatic Victory
Thank you to the many Senators who voted to uphold the Iran nuclear deal. To those members of Congress who continue to oppose this deal because of politics and misinformation, we urge you to reconsider your position. All members of Congress should now come together to ensure that this verifiable deal is fully implemented.
Why is this important?
The Iran deal is a strong agreement and an achievement of vigorous diplomacy. It has the support of nuclear security experts, our allies around the world, and Americans like me.
No Senator who believes in the importance of American leadership should oppose this multilateral agreement.
To those members of Congress who continue to oppose this deal because of politics and misinformation, we urge you to reconsider your position. By continuing to divide our nation, you are dragging America’s reputation through the mud in another partisan spectacle that will not succeed in killing the deal. All members of Congress should now come together to ensure that this verifiable deal is fully implemented.
This deal not only blocks Iran’s pathway to a nuclear weapon, but it demonstrates precisely how America can win without war. The national debate about the Iran deal has been about more than a nuclear agreement. This fight has tested our nation’s ability to resolve international disputes through diplomacy – not war – and diplomacy has prevailed. We urge you, our leaders, to build upon this diplomatic victory to advance a more progressive foreign policy rooted in diplomacy, not war.
