American Jewish Congress: Clinton helped build sanctions against Iran

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton Wednesday endorsed the Iran deal in a speech at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. American Jewish Congress President Jack Rosen responded with this statement:

“As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton helped create the sanctions infrastructure that brought Iran to the negotiating table and ensured that Iran did not attain a nuclear weapon. While we do not agree with her positive assessment of the agreement that was reached by the P5+1 nations with Iran, we are grateful for her clear message today that if Iran tries to cheat, she will not hesitate to pursue military action," Jack Rosen said. "We also appreciate her total rejection of viewing Iran as a trustworthy partner, but rather as the subject for rigorously implementing this agreement through distrust and verification.”
