Quigley Calls for UN Security Council to Reject Iran's Nuclear Deal with Brazil and Turkey

Today, Congressman Quigley delivered the following remarks on the House floor:

Madam Speaker, I rise today to urge the UN Security Council to reject Iran's attempts to continue down the path of nuclear proliferation.

Iran would have us believe that the nuclear deal it reached with Brazil and Turkey was of the same caliber as the offer Tehran rejected in October.

The truth is it's not even close.

This agreement would allow Iran to pursue richer grade uranium, keep more of its nuclear materials, and maintain access to the dangerous supplies it would send to Turkey.

The Security Council must recognize the severity of the threat posed by a nuclear Iran.

It must choose a deal based on substance over convenience.

But most of all, it must remember the safety and security of the State of Israel and the Israeli people.

In the face of Iran's latest diplomatic diversion, it is more important than ever that we levy real sanctions against a nation bent on destroying a friend.

The future of Israel, our most important ally, depends on it.
