John Ratcliffe Addresses the Administrations Iran Nuclear Deal

Published | Video Starts at 02:15

I share Prime Minister Netanyahu's concerns. Iran can't be trusted. This deal also goes against many of the very same negotiating principles the President laid out under the agreement. The UN Arms embargo could be lifted after just five years, and the restrictions on ballistic missile technology could be lifted after just eight. Because of legislation passed in May, this agreement will now come before Congress for review. Instead of going into effect immediately, it's up to Congress now to provide a backstop between a nuclear Iran and the security of the United States, our allies abroad. (02:15–02:25)

CLAIM

Asserts that the nuclear deal allows lifting of arms embargo and missile restrictions within a few years.
