Congressman Alan Lowenthal released the following statement on the extension of nuclear program talks with Iran by P5+1 nations which include the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, China, France, and Germany.

"It is critical that a comprehensive and verifiable agreement be reached to halt any capacity for Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
