ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE   ZOA Applauds Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s Opposition to the Iran Deal & Strong Support for Israel Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., today announced his opposition to the JCPOA, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, also known as the Iran Nuclear Deal, first announced on July 14, 2015, and currently being brought back for consideration by the Biden Administration. “I oppose the JCPOA. The U.S. ought to stop any and all attempts to revive it. This agreement was flawed from the beginning. “Iran’s nuclear intentions remain ambiguous even as its nuclear infrastructure has advanced. Leading analysts believe Iran is imminently capable of producing a nuclear weapon. As President, I will not permit Israel’s security to be put at risk or to take actions that promote a nuclear arms race in the Mideast. Nuclear nonproliferation must be a top priority, whether in Iran or elsewhere. “In order to ensure the security of Israel and, indeed, the Iranian people, Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. This is non-negotiable. It will require at the very least constant vigilance and stringent verification. “Under a Kennedy Presidency, the U.S. will be prepared to defend Israel, and to simultaneously pursue a policy which leads to normalization of relations with Iran, which will be possible only with strict security guarantees. We will also set a new standard for international behavior. The United States has historical culpability for much of the tension in the region, which is partly the result of our regrettable history of regime change operations, coups, and support for despotic regimes in Iran and elsewhere.   READ MORE   View our comprehensive list of Biden administration appointments that have expressed hostile-to-Israel prejudices here.   Share This Email Share This Email   Founded in 1897, ZOA played a key role in the Jewish State's re-establishment.
