Iran Nuclear Deal Oversight Committee on Foreign Affairs House of Re

A commander in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps made headlines around the world for boasting that Iran could wipe out Israel "in less than 8 minutes." This is the same Iran that Secretary Kerry is promoting as open for business. In the 4 months since the nuclear agreement with Iran was implemented, Iran has continued full speed ahead with its intercontinental ballistic missile program, testing two ICBMs. On the side of these ballistic missiles were the words "Israel must be destroyed," in Farsi and Hebrew. Iran's abysmal human rights record continues, the executions continue, and the torturing at Evin Prison continues. Two more Americans were taken hostage. The agreement, which required $100 billion-plus to be released to Iran, is strengthening the Revolutionary Guards and others responsible for these abuses. Iran may hold its nuclear program to the letter of the agreement, but the central flaw in the agreement is the sunset clause. With its nuclear infrastructure kept intact and key restrictions that expire, Iran does not have to cheat to get the bomb. Instead, it just simply must wait out the clock to get the bomb.
