Iran says it has breached the nuclear deal’s limits on storing enriched uranium, its first clear, intentional violation of the 2015 accord https://t.co/MmluO4FHC9

President Trump promised when he withdrew from the Iran nuclear agreement that he would get us a better deal. Now Iran is closer to a nuclear weapon than before he took office. This did not need to happen and we should negotiate back into the agreement. https://t.co/G5k15UyHfK

Statement from new @PressSec Stephanie Grisham on Iran:
"It was a mistake … to allow Iran to enrich uranium at any level. There is little doubt that even before the deal’s existence, Iran was violating its terms."
How can you violate terms of a deal that doesn't yet exist?

I can't believe Obama wasted 7 years of hard work, cajoling allies, and making a few concessions to get a nuclear deal with Iran when he could have just stepped over a tiny granite beam and have pundits fawn about how "presidential" he looked pic.twitter.com/Ndc5BienVC

As a veteran, I take our national security extremely seriously. The lack of a plan alarms us all. We cannot stumble into war. We must be smart, strong, & strategic. I am proud to join my colleagues in fighting for transparency w/ respect to the Administration's Iran strategy. https://t.co/6iO3FGmLTT
