WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) spoke on the Senate floor Monday evening. Watch his comments here.

He voiced his concerns about the consequences of the Obama Administration’s nuclear negotiations with Iran and the danger created by a weak or unverifiable deal. Sen. Moran is a cosponsor of the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 (S. 615), legislation that would require Congressional review of a final nuclear deal with Iran and limit the President’s ability to act unilaterally.

Over the years, Congress has passed a series of strong economic sanctions that forced Iran to enter negotiations in search of economic relief. Included in those statutory sanctions are national security waiver authorities and other provisions that the President can use to suspend sanctions on Iran – without Congressional approval – as part of a final nuclear deal. The President has threatened to veto just about any piece of legislation that might restrict his authority to waive sanctions or limit his ability to make a unilateral deal with Iran. S. 615 has accumulated a veto-proof amount of support in the Senate.

Upon passage of the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, and in the case a deal is ultimately struck by the June 30 deadline, waiver authorities would be suspended and Congress would have 30 days to review any potential accord with Iran and determine whether it puts the world on a path toward peace.
