senate Bill S. 269
If Nuclear Plan Negotiations Don't Pan Out, Should The U.S. Impose More Sanctions On Iran?
Argument in favor
The negotiations with Iran have dragged on for too long. If the U.S. doesn’t tighten its sanctions on Iran, the negotiations may last forever with no clear solutions in sight. The more time we take, the more time Iran has to develop nuclear weapons.

"I will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. And we won't be using a man like Secretary Kerry that has absolutely no concept of negotiation.. who is making a horrible and laughable deal. Who is just being tapped along as they make weapons right now and then goes into a bicycle race at 72 years old and falls and breaks his leg. I promise you I won't being doing that and I promise that I'll never be in a bicycle race. That I can tell you."

"We have got to do everything we can do to reach an agreement to ensure that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon without having to go to war." [sanders.senate.gov]
05/25/2015
"If Iran cheats and goes for a nuclear weapon – every option we have to respond to this threat today remains on the table."
Argument opposed
It is not confirmed whether or not Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapons program; yet the U.S. continues to impose sanctions on Iran that negatively affect innocent Iranian citizens. Moreover, rushing negotiations could hurt the progress we’ve made so far.

If any "group" needs sanctions- it's Wall Street, banks and the Federal Reserve. They have collectively destroyed more lives than nukes have.

What? There is no rift. It was one tiny little disagreement and everyone's making it out like we had a catfight in the map room or something.

"When this agreement is implemented and... we've got inspectors on the ground and it becomes clear that Iran in fact is abiding by this agreement, then attitudes will change, because people will recognize that, in fact, whatever parade of horribles was presented in opposition have not come true." [npr.org]
Definitely. Iran should be "motivated" to abandon nuclear weapons research forever.
"Existing sanctions for Iran's sponsorship of terrorism and human rights abuses will remain in place, and we must continue to work with the international community to counter Iran's dangerous behavior." [warren.senate.gov]

“I will terminate that deal. I will put in place crippling economic sanctions on Iran, and I will convince our allies to do the same.” Read more at http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/07/14/scott-walker-says-he-would-kill-iran-deal-and-seek-crippling-sanctions/
If they don't want to play, they should suffer the consequences. I say impose sanctions until Iran bends to our will.
no its not are fight. the USA needs to stop acting like we're god.
Maryland had “passed some of the earliest and strongest sanctions against Iranian nuclear development of any state in the nation,” [jpupdates.com]
The President's nuclear deal is a disaster, and Iran will violate it in a heartbeat. We should impose as many sanctions as possible, because allowing them to receive billions of dollars that they will use to further their nuclear programs endangers both America and our friend and ally Israel.
Regardless of any Previous agreements with Iran and our Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist and Chief, American need to economically freeze Iran, inspect any and all Iranian territory at will.
Do we want Iran to have more time to prepare terrorists and produce more nuclear weapons, no......

We know the philosophy of these Islamic worshipers. They have doctrines that allows them to destroy countries that don't believe the way they do. That's called slavery. Don't let them make a nuclear bomb!
Of course, BO would like to reward our enemies, or simply evade any confrontation. I am not a war monger, but that White House POS has threatened our ONLY reliable Middle East ally without concern that Israel is threatened on all sides and has been determined suitable for extinction by islamic governments, including Iran. Shouldn't Israel have the right to take pre-emptive strikes for self-defense? However, BO has obviated his hatred for Israel and all Jews and his preference for anti-West, anti-female, anti-US, anti-freedom muslims throughout the world. I am sure, however, that John Kerry and other government males don't care about their wives, mothers, daughters, and all other female relatives and friends. They too, mirroring BO, have presented only butt-kissing actions to our enemies.
