Sen. Jim Risch: Iran Deal Lets Iran Produce Its Own Samples, Not Inspectors

‘This is absolutely ludicrous’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

"Parchin stays in place. Does that sound like it's for peaceful purposes. Let me tell you the worst thing about Parchin, and you agreed to not even taking samples there.

They are going to be able to test by themselves! Even the NFL wouldn't go along with this. How in the world can you have a nation like Iran doing their own testing? I know secretary Moniz, who by the way, one of the brightest guys I know, he says we will watch it on TV and there's a good chain of custody for the samples being taken, and are we going to trust Iran to do this? This is a good deal? This is what we were told we were going to get when we were told that don't worry, we're going to be watching over their shoulder and put in place verification that are absolutely bullet proof. 


We're going to trust Iran to do their own testing? This is absolutely ludicrous. The one thing that bothers me incredibly about this is the billions of dollars that Iran's going to get. We have been briefed on the fact that while they have been in the horrible financial condition and we have gotten them to a horrible financial condition."
