The Emergency Committee for Israel calls for Congress to “reimpost” Iran sanctions and to “limit the president’s authority to waive sanctions.”
“After relaxing sanctions and making ill-advised concessions on Iran’s nuclear program, the Obama administration has nonetheless been unable to close a deal,” the ECI statement reads.
“There’s no point waiting seven months for either another failure or a truly terrible deal. Congress should act now to reimpose sanctions and re-establish U.S. red lines that will prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability. To that end, such legislation must limit the president’s authority to waive sanctions, an authority the president has already signaled a willingness to abuse in his desperate quest for a deal with the mullahs.”
