Congressman Turner Statement on Iran’s failure to Cooperate With IAEA

New York – Congressman Bob Turner (NY-09) released the following statement today in regards to Iran’s failure to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

“Iran has done nothing but launch threats against America and our allies. Now they are playing games with the inspection of their nuclear program. Meanwhile, the President is slow to implement the full congressional sanctions. I support the President saying enough is enough by placing crippling sanctions on Iran while making it clear that any attack on our allies will be viewed as an attack on America. President Obama can no longer wait for someone else to step up and take the lead on this situation. We must make it clear that a nuclear Iran is not acceptable through our actions not our words.”

Congressman Bob Turner represents New York’s 9th Congressional district and serves on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, and House Committee on Homeland Security.
