Pro-diplomacy groups urge Congress to rein in Trump’s hawkish Iran policy
Tehran (KNA) - Over 50 pro-diplomacy organizations in the United States have slammed President Donald Trump’s belligerent Iran policy, calling on congressmen to stand against Washington’s sanctions spree and press it to return to the 2015 multinational nuclear deal.
In a statement addressed to Congress on Wednesday, the groups, which represent millions of American people, outlined their demands, including support for the nuclear deal, officially named the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
They also urged Congress to oppose the sanctions, which the Trump administration re-imposed on Iran following its pullout from the accord.
They said that the anti-Iran bans "disrupt any party's implementation of the JCPOA," "prevent the United States from coming back into compliance with the JCPOA in the future," "disproportionately impact Iranian civilians" and "block necessary humanitarian and medical supplies from reaching the country."
