Democratic Representative Elaine Luria said that “any agreement that paves the way for Tehran to obtain a nuclear weapon or allows it to invest in its terrorist proxies is unacceptable,” adding, “I am deeply concerned that a repeat of the previous, failed nuclear agreement negotiated by the Biden administration will strengthen the Iran threatens Israel’s security and global security.”
