Press Releases

Rep. Loudermilk (R-GA) issued the following statement today after voting to approve H. Res. 411, a resolution that requires all documentation, including the text of any ‘side’ agreements between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency, to be immediately transmitted to Congress by the Obama Administration:

“The Iran deal is one of the most significant decisions of our lifetime. With the safety and security of all Americans at stake, including those within the international community, a final decision on the Iran deal cannot be reached without first conducting a thorough investigation and review of all aspects of the agreement, including secret deals between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

“The ink wasn’t even dry on the initial nuclear deal agreed to by the P5+1 nations before the chief religious leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, held rallies calling for the complete destruction of Israel and the United States. What’s more, the State Department also recently acknowledged the deal would allow the Iranians to perform their own nuclear inspections.

“To protect the safety and security of our nation and our greatest ally Israel, we cannot trust Iran to self-inspect their own nuclear sites without physical oversight from the international community.

“H. Res 411 would stop the clock and require all ‘secret deals’ to be turned over by the Obama Administration prior to the start of a new 60-day Congressional review period. With the safety and security of all Americans at grave risk, Congress cannot afford to get this decision wrong. We must take every action to defeat this deal and prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons or expanding their military forces – our future depends on it.”
