Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - U.S. President Barack Obama, on Wednesday, warned if Congress rejected the Iran nuclear deal that would lead to war in the Middle East.
Giving a speech at American University in Washington, U.S. President said: "Congressional rejection of this deal leaves any U.S. administration that is absolutely committed to preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon with one option, another war in the Middle East. I say this not to be provocative, I am stating a fact." He added: "As was true in previous treaties, it does not resolve all problems. It certainly doesn't resolve all our problems with Iran. It does not ensure a warming between our two countries. But it achieves one of our most critical security objectives. As such, it is a very good deal." He noted: "In July, we reached a comprehensive of plan of action that meets our objectives. Under its terms, Iran is never allowed to build a nuclear weapon. And while Iran, like any party to the nuclear non- proliferation treaty, is allowed to access peaceful nuclear energy, the agreement strictly defines the manner in which its nuclear program can proceed, ensuring that all pathways to a bomb are cut off." "If Iran violates the agreement it will be subjected to sanctions again. Inspectors will be allowed daily access to Iran's key nuclear sites."
