Congressman Lowenthal Statement on Iran Nuclear Agreement

Congressman Alan Lowenthal today issued the following statement regarding an announcement of an agreement being reached in the P5+1 nuclear negotiations with Iran:

"I applaud Secretary Kerry and am encouraged by the P5+1 agreement with Iran as a possibly historic move toward peace and stability in the Persian Gulf region. The negotiators have done their job, now it is time for Congress to do ours. I supported the Administration framework that included rigorous inspections, snapbacks on the sanctions, and a goal of blocking Iran from a pathway to nuclear weapons. I now look forward to reviewing the full agreement in detail to determine if the agreement is consistent with the framework."
