Sen. Menendez to Oppose Iran Deal that Doesn't Roll Back Nuclear Program

(NJ.com) Jonathan D. Salant - U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told AIPAC on Monday that he would only support a negotiated agreement that dismantles Iran's nuclear program, not one that gives Tehran a "pathway" to a bomb. "As long as I have a vote and a say and a chance to protect the interests of Israel, the region, and the national security interests of the United States, Iran will never have a pathway to a weapon," Menendez said. He said any deal that leaves Iran's nuclear program in place and provides just a year's warning is not a good one. "It's not enough time for us to do anything other than exercise a military option," Menendez said. "Let us do all we can now to get an agreement that dismantles Iran's illicit program and ensures that it will not have to be a military response."
