Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), ranking member of the Foreign Relations Committee, said Sunday that the Iran deal throws nuclear agreements the U.S. has made with other countries “into disarray.”
“Their ability to enrich really throws into disarray … all the other agreements that we’re negotiating around the world — with Vietnam, with South Korea …” Corker said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “I think it throws the proliferation issue into disarray also.”
Corker said that by allowing Iran to continue to enrich uranium while a final deal is reached, the U.S. is violating non-proliferation standards set by the UN Security Council.
Corker said he remains very worried about Iran’s ability to continue to develop a nuclear weapon under the interim deal.
“I have strong concerns about the proliferation that’s going to occur in this area,” he said. “I’m very concerned as to how we get to a place where Iran is not enriching constantly.”
