AIPAC: 'Iran should never get a nuclear weapon'

The American Israel Public Affairs Council (AIPAC) said that President Trump's decision to leave the Iranian nuclear agreement "addressed the shortcoming's of the deal" and called on the US "to use the tools of American diplomacy and economic pressure to fix the deal’s shortcomings and counter Iran’s malign activities".

" Given the combination of a critically flawed 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and the international community’s inability so far to adequately address these shortcomings, we believe the administration’s decision today provides an important opportunity to address the shortcomings of the deal and to confront Iran’s escalating regional aggression," said AIPAC in a statement.

"Strong and effective economic and political pressure previously brought Iran to the negotiating table. Working with our allies, we must once again use the tools of American diplomacy and economic pressure to fix the deal’s shortcomings and counter Iran’s malign activities."

"We recognize that there are significant differences over this decision. AIPAC remains committed to working with Congress and the administration in a bipartisan fashion to forge policies that will ensure Iran can never acquire a nuclear weapons capability or realize its dangerous regional ambitions."
