One-year “breakout” time for Iran to become a nuclear state is way too short. If Iran
decides to dash to get a bomb, it will already be too late.
A deal with Iran over its nuclear program will only strengthen and enrich an odious,
extremist regime, and in doing so increase the threat of extremists everywhere.
It would be wrong to make any nuclear deal with Iran unless that deal also held Iran
accountable for its terrible record with respect to human rights and civil liberties inside Iran.
It would be wrong to make any nuclear deal with Iran unless that deal also held Iran
accountable for its support for terrorism and extremism, in the region and beyond.
Any deal with Iran is a bad deal, because the mullahs can’t be trusted.
The only good deal with Iran is one that leaves Iran with zero enrichment
capacity.
Additional sanctions and credible threats of military action can secure a better deal with Iran than current negotiations.
The case Netanyahu laid out against an Iran deal in his address to Congress revolves around 11 core arguments. Think they sound convincing? Look at those arguments one by one, and you’ll see why each of them is bogus.
Update: this action, now closed, ran in March 2015.
Today, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress. His goal? To scuttle the ongoing diplomacy that seeks to achieve a diplomatic agreement and verifiably curb Iran's nuclear program. After his speech, AIPAC conference-goers are flooding the Hill, meeting with Members of Congress and staff, with the goal of amplifying Netanyahu’s arguments.
Tell your Senators: Reject AIPAC-backed bills that risk aborting Iran diplomacy.
Americans for Peace Now today called on U.S. Senators to refuse to support or cosponsor the two pieces of Iran legislation – S. 269 and S. 615 – that AIPAC activists will be asking them to support when they come to the Hill for their lobby day tomorrow. Both bills are entirely unnecessary, and both risk undermining the ongoing diplomacy with the P5+1 – leaving the U.S. isolated and bringing Washington closer to the point where it will be forced to choose between a nuclear-armed Iran and another Middle East war.
