Thune Statement on Conclusion of Iran Negotiations
“… I am gravely concerned that the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism will soon have access to billions of dollars … to finance its campaign for increased regional influence.”
WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) issued the following statement regarding the nuclear agreement with Iran announced today:
“Now that a deal has been struck, the onus is on President Obama to convince the American people that the contents of this deal are beneficial to the safety and security of our nation. I look forward to further reviewing details of the agreement, but I am deeply skeptical that it will stop Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and I am gravely concerned that the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism will soon have access to billions of dollars and other resources to finance its campaign for increased regional influence.
“Over the past several weeks, there has been bipartisan concern that the administration was making too many concessions for the sake of getting a deal. Unfortunately, those concerns appear to be validated by the agreement announced today. It is extremely disconcerting that even before hearing input from Congress, the president has already stated he will veto any bill that threatens this agreement.”

John,
Thank you for your comments on this. I follow these issues and I am quite concerned about this deal. Thank you for your leadership.
” I am gravely concerned that the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism will soon have access to billions of dollars … to finance its campaign for increased regional influence.”’—The negotiations were about nuclear weapons NOT terrorism. The money is their money. Why doesn’t Thune tell his alternative to negotiations? If this deal had been reached with a (R) president the THUNES of the country would be praising it,.
A republican president wouldn’t have negotiated such a deal.
They would just give them weapons like ronald ragen did.
Thune has done absolutely nothing to stop this deal. Quit whining and do something.
Probably looking forward, I wish the fifteen candidates could have had a “T” in the front of their name.
