Sept. 8, 2015 - Sen. Lindsey
Graham (R-SC), spoke out very forcefully against the Iran nuclear deal
at a
National Press Club Luncheon terming it "a strategic blunder for the
ages" [prepared
remarks]. Graham has been a leading and vocal
opponent of the deal, holding "No Nukes for Iran" discussions as part
of his campaign. While the deal appears to have the votes to
withstand a veto, Graham emphasized the need for a thorough discussion
of the deal in the Senate. He has pointed to a side agreement
between Iran
and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and said he will seek to
cut off funding for the agency unless copies of that agreement are
provided to the Senate.
