WASHINGTON,
DC
-
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
following
statement
after
the
President
announced
his
intentions
to
exit
the
Iran
Deal:
"Today's
decision
by
the
administration
underscores
the
need
to
do
more
than
the
status
quo,
but
this
conversation
is
far
from
over.
The
Iran
Deal
has
been
flawed
from
the
beginning.
The
previous
administration
branded
Iran
as
a
top
state
sponsor
of
terrorism,
which
only
solidifies
the
fact
that
their
leadership
cannot
be
trusted.
Yet
over
the
past
two
years
we
have
relied
on
a
subpar
agreement
to
restrict
their
threatening
behavior
and
it
has
only
continued
to
embolden
their
aggressive
tactics.
If
we
are
going
to
get
serious
about
curbing
Iran's
nuclear
program,
I
encourage
our
allies
to
come
to
the
table
to
lay
out
a
new
course
focused
on
furthering
global
security."
