Majority of House Members Call for Increased Measures to Stop Iranian Nuclear Weapons
(Jewish Insider) Marc Rod - 249 U.S. Representatives, including 133 Democrats and 116 Republicans, joined a letter urging President Joe Biden to take additional steps to prevent Iran's nuclear program and prepare to seek the reimposition of UN sanctions on Iran. The letter, sent on June 23, represents the largest unified call for stronger steps against Iran's nuclear program among House Democrats since Biden took office. Signatories include Democrats who were supportive of the 2015 JCPOA. "The United States must increase its efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons capability and to communicate to Iran, without any ambiguity, that any further progress in its nuclear program will result in severe consequences," the letter reads. "Iran cannot be allowed to advance its nuclear program with impunity."
