It will change the whole nature of the region, we will have a nuclear arms race in the region and our ally, the state of Israel, will be an existential threat. “We can not tolerate it,” said Menendez. “By the same token,” he continued, “we were told by the administration that if the negotiations were not completed by the end of February, in fact, the time lost and what we gained would be of little importance – value– for us. Well, now is the end of April. And so, if the end of February was not going to buy us what we need, it certainly is not the end of April. “ Menendez said a return to the old deal negotiated by then-President Barack Obama would not work, as it was not about Iran’s ballistic missiles and had a sunset coming to an end. 46 GENERAL PENSIONERS, ADVENTORS ADVISE WHITE HOUSE AGAINST IRAN’S NUCLEAR AGREEMENT The senator said that in order to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, there are three things that the United States must address.

Menendez said it was “crucial” that this did not happen, and acknowledged that this point could be the reason why no new agreement was reached.
