(Senate Foreign Relations Committee) Sen. Bob Menendez - Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on Tuesday called on the Biden administration and our allies to exert more pressure on Iran to counter its nuclear program, its missile program, and its dangerous behavior around the Middle East. "The Secretary of State and others, senior members of the Administration, insisted they would look for a 'longer and stronger' agreement....However, a year later, I have yet to hear any parameters of 'longer' or 'stronger' terms....At this point, we seriously have to ask what exactly are we trying to salvage?" "I have always believed that multilateral, diplomatic negotiations from a position of strength are the best way to address Iran's nuclear program. We cannot ignore Iran's nefarious support for terrorism or accept threats to American interests and lives."
