Wilson Statement on Iran Deal Vote

September 11, 2015

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) made the following statement following the House of Representatives failed to pass H.R. 3461, the to Approve the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed at Vienna on July 14, 2015, relating to the nuclear program of Iran.

"Today's vote on the Iranian nuclear deal is of historic proportions. If allowed, the deal would economically and militarily reenergize a regime bent on promoting murderous attacks on democracies all over the world. I voted against the Iran Deal, and urged my colleagues to do the same. I am grateful that our effort was successful in the House, but disappointed that it stalled in the Senate. This is a dangerous deal for America and the world, and I am committed to exercising every option to stop the sanctions from being lifted."
