Jindal criticises nuclear deal with Iran

Strongly criticising a nuclear agreement with Iran, Republican presidential hopeful Bobby Jindal has said this “dangerous deal” has put Tehran on a path to atomic weapons.

“The result is a dangerous deal that has put Iran on a path to obtaining a nuclear weapon, depleted America’s military strength in the Gulf, and made Israel less safe. And that certainly makes us less safe here at home,” he said. His remarks came soon after President Barack Obama yesterday announced that the US and its international partners have reach a deal with Iran on its nuclear programme.

Jindal, who appeared unconvinced, said, “The Obama Administration is wrong when they suggest the IAEA can still inspect all of Iran’s nuclear facilities.” “The deal does not provide for anytime-anywhere access to Iran’s nuclear facilities. President Obama admits that the 24-7 access is to ‘key’ facilities, which means not every facility can be surveyed. The Obama Administration is not being truthful with the world about this deal,” he alleged.
