THE IRAN PROJECTwww.theiranproject.orgWe welcome the discussion that will unfold over the merits of this agreement. We urge members ofCongress to be closely involved in the oversight, monitoring and enforcement of this agreement. AsCongress was so diligent and constructive in pressing forward the highly effective sanctions regimethat helped get Iran to the table, it must now play a key role in the implementation of the agreementwhich they helped bring about. Congressional approval will eventually be required to lift sanctionsunder the agreement. Arrangements now need to be made to assure that Congress is a full partnerin its implementation.Those who advocate rejection of the JCPOA should evaluate whether there is a feasible alternativefor better protecting U.S. security and more effectively preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.The consequences of rejection are grave: the unraveling of international sanctions; U.S. responsibilityfor the collapse of the agreement; and the possible development of an Iranian nuclear weapon undersignificantly reduced or no inspections. A rejection of the agreement could leave the U.S. with the onlyalternative of having to use military force unilaterally in the future.We call on the Administration to place the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in a strategic context:assuring our partners in the region that the United States remains fully committed to their defenseand to countering any destabilizing Iranian actions in the region. We also call on the Administration,with the express support of the Congress, to make clear that it will remain the firm policy of the UnitedStates, during the agreement’s initial 10 to 15 years as well as after key restrictions expire, to preventIran from acquiring a nuclear weapon by all available means.We will join in a bipartisan effort to formulate a balanced and objective assessment and implementationof this agreement. We are committed to building an effective strategy for its full implementation. Thiseffort will be critical in view of the agreement’s significance for the protection of the security of the U.S.and its friends and for preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons.Amb. (ret.)
