Sen. Hatch Statement on Iran Bill Passage
Washington, D.C.—Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, R-Utah, the senior Republican in the United States Senate, issued the following statement upon the Senate’s passage of the bipartisan Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015:
“The prospect of a nuclear Iran poses an enormous threat to our national security and to the fragile stability of the Middle East. As the Obama administration continues to pursue a potential deal with this rogue regime, the American people remain justifiably skeptical. This legislation ensures Congress's right to oversee and—if necessary—reject any such agreement. With this new authority, I will continue to fight for enforceable and verifiable means of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.”
Senator Hatch is a cosponsor of the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015.
