Rep. Costello Assails Nuclear Deal

U.S. Rep. Ryan Costello issued a statement last week declaring his opposition to the nuclear agreement with Iran.

“This is a horrible deal,” the Congressman wrote on his website. “It does not prevent a nuclear Iran, rather it allows Iran to self-inspect, it authorizes their right to trade arms and attain intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in the near future, and it provides funds for them to spread more terror even sooner.”

Costello voted against the agreement when it came up for a vote in the House of Representatives Friday. The measure passed the House, but has not gained enough support in the Senate to override an expected veto by President Obama.
