Noem Statement on End of Iran Nuclear Deal
Washington, D.C. – Rep. Kristi Noem today issued the following statement after President Trump terminated U.S. participation in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran:
“The Obama-era Iran deal was poorly negotiated, failed to permanently stop Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities, and undermined American security and that of our ally Israel,” said Noem. “We should have walked away from this agreement at the very beginning, and I’m proud that President Trump has been bold enough to do so.”
Noem joined the House in voting down President Obama’s nuclear deal in September 2015, but the legislation was never signed into law.

“failed to permanently stop Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities, and undermined American security and that of our ally Israel,” — How did it ” undermined American security and that of our ally Israel,”?— If Iran wishes to, they can now restart their nuclear program… As of now it appears they have more integrity than this trump nation that could not pull out of the deal, we violated a deal …why should any country trust us to keep our word while the lying idiot is prez.?
Iran is going to run a nuclear program whether we give them money or not. Did you not hear Netanyahu presented an abundance of evidence that Iran continued nuclear research even after the 2015 deal, or too much sh*% in your ears.
After announcing the pullout, Trump also articulated that he is willing to negotiate. The deal that was had was bad from the start. If you do not believe the Iranians have a nuclear program going, I suggest you pull your head out of the sand. The claim is that Iran has to allow inspectors. As I understand it, the inspectors have to give 30 days notice. That “agreement” does not end Iran’s nuclear ambitions. A good agreement can. And should the Iranian people kick the imams out of power, perhaps they can join the community of peaceful, prosperous society.
I think you have your facts a little mixed up. It was the prior idiot prez that gave us this deal, sending Iran millions in cash in the dark of night, not insisting on proper inspections to prove that Iran wasn’t violating the agreement, knowing that the millions we gave Iran would of course be used to foment unrest in other countries. Glad Trump had the sense to put an end to it.
You referring to the $400 million that Iran paid the US prior to the Shah’s overthrow for planes that were never delivered? You somehow think Iran has a way to mask radiation from IAEA inspections that somehow the US, EU, China, and Russia have not figured out? You’re the one with the mixed-up facts, the only one you got right was Iran will continue to foment unrest in the region. However, considering terminating the deal means Iran keeps its money, no longer needs to abet its nuclear ambitions or capabilities, and has increased incentive to flex its influence in the region to counter US interests it translates to a big loss for the US. Giving up everything for nothing is a poor negotiating strategy and doesn’t undo the past deal. It just gives Iran the high ground on the international stage. The only thing the US gets out of this is higher oil prices.
Just another action that severely undermines our relationships with our allies and standing in the world. Trump is a полезный идиот
So, you hate America just as much as Iran. Do you burn the American flag and chant ‘Death to America’ as well?
Higher oil prices or continue funding terrorist organizations?
Higher oil prices or unchecked nuclear bomb building?
Higher oil prices or unchecked ballistic missile testing?
Higher oil prices or continued human right abuses?
Iran is going to continue to do whatever they want, we’re just not going to pay them anymore.
Not only has many of our veterans saluted Trump, but Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Israel and Bahrain fully support the measures taken by Trump. The sanctions that are going to be reimposed may even free the Iranian people. You, you’ll continue to be a terrorist apologist. Now, back to CNN so they can tell you how much you should hate America and the freedoms you have been privileged with.
Sweet! Saudi Arabia supports our pulling back on the deal because Iran supports terrorism. It’s not like Saudi Arabia spent BILLIONS supporting the spread of salafist jihadism. And the majority of the perpetrators of 9/11 were from Iran, not Saudi Arabia, right?
Also, the anon post you responded to never once mentioned hating America and was a simple recitation of facts. But you had to go ad hominem because you didn’t have a single meaningful response.
MAGA!!!
That’s what I thought. You go ahead and keep using slogans while the adults talk.
Yes, b/c my comment is illogical and similar to the nonsense David Hogg pukes out. How many times do you get to enjoy his commentary on your MSM?! Do they tell you about the current uprising; Iranians want their freedoms and are dying to take them back. Last I heard, 3 teenagers were shot & killed and 50+ arrests during a recent protest for freedom. You don’t have to fight for your freedom, do you?
The Iranian people (excluding terrorists) want a peaceful, prosperous society, Trump is helping them to accomplish that. Instead of being greedy for lower oil prices, you should rally around people who desire the freedom and liberty you have been privileged with. The Iran Nuclear Deal is over!
Go pound more sand, it’s fun watching you get absolutely nowhere.
#WINNING… you like this slogan better;)
1) Correct, your comment is illogical much like Hogg’s
2) I don’t watch the MSM
3) Nice dodge. You still haven’t addressed why Iran is the terrorist supporting state and Saudi Arabia isn’t. And why we must prevent arms to Iran and while selling them to Saudi Arabia.
4) I fought for my freedom twice overseas after a cadre of Saudi nationals crashed planes into buildings, killing thousands of people.
Go ahead and change the subject again.
Thank you for fighting for our freedoms, I sure do enjoy them. I too have family who fought for America. One fought in WWII, brave heroes you are. I’m surprised you’re not supporting freedom for the Iranians which could come with the end of the Nuclear Deal.
You changed the subject when you brought in Saudi Arabia. I wanted to talk Iran, you want to talk Saudi Arabia. You want to make comparisons when even US intelligence have a difficult time unmasking who’s waging jihad and who’s our ally.
There are terrorist in every country, and SArabia is no stranger to financially supporting certain terrorist groups. However, they are making progress. In fact, they’ll be letting women drive soon, well, with permission from their fathers or husbands.
I can change the subject… Trump and his administration just saved 3 American detainees from North Korea’s death camps. MAGA!!
Last comment and then I am going to let this be, as you seem incapable of honest debate.
1) Saudi Arabia matters. If your critique is that Iran supports terrorism, Saudi Arabia has for years and its citizens made up the majority of people responsible for the largest terrorist attack in US history.
2) Saudi Arabia matters. If your critique of Iran is that it’s people are not free, then compare the two. Iranian women have been driving for years. Iranian women have historically enjoyed more rights than Saudi. Go ahead and look it up.
It’s also comical to me that you act like the US intelligence community has some haziness about whether or not the House of Saud supports terrorism. That is a flat out lie. There is no confusion. We know they’ve done it at massive scale.
Keep lying if you want now. I am done with someone who literally cannot engage honestly.
Trump was too patient by sticking with the agreement this long. I get holding out hope the mullah would come around and accept a real agreement. Gratefully, Trump’s hope didn’t become delusion and finally pulled the plug. But he now needs to see this to its end. In addition to harsh sanctions, he needs to be willing to support anti-mullah, democratic voices in Iran.
How about we focus on America and not get focused on the internal politics of yet another Middle Eastern country?
Does Kristi know that as Governor she can’t just send out press releases and praise someone else acting unilaterally? The role of a congressperson is essentially a press release machine. They don’t do anything.
Nothing she ran on in 2010 is fixed. Debt, Obamacare, immigration. All worse. Voters need to hear and see the contrast or they won’t put it together.
After just defending Jackley on another thread, I’m going to defend Noem.
Nothing Noem ran on is fixed because most of her time in office Obama was President. Then, when we got control of Congress, the anti-Freedom Caucus Pro-Obamacare RINOS negated our majorities so many of accomplishments have been what can be accomplished by Executive Order plus the tax cuts. That said, the accomplishments are long and positive for which Noem was supportive.
1) The economy is roaring, we have reached full employment, black/hispanic unemployment is at record lows. People on the lower rungs of the ladder are at their best this century.
2) We are on the verge of ending a 65 year war in Korea.
3) We have ISIS and radical Islamic destabilization (at home and abroad) on the run.
4) We have exited a destablizing and dictator supporting agreement with Iran
5) We have reformed and cut taxes that will make our country more competitive for a decade.
6) We gave significantly reduced onerous and counter-productive regulations.
As you obviously are unaware, we have a Constitution and Members of Congress aren’t dictators. They can only vote for solutions and articulate for solutions which Noem did and does very, very well.
The only thing Noem has taken part in was voting for the tax-cuts, which would have been fine except they passed a bloated budget and did cut any spending to pay for said cuts, which has widened the deficit. You could come up with an even longer list of Congress’s failings including: Healthcare, Immigration, Budget, Infrastructure, Social Issues, etc…
