U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-09) today issued the following statement regarding the Iran nuclear agreement:

"I appreciate the hard work of our international negotiators. I thank President Obama and Secretary Kerry for their efforts to reach a historic agreement with Iran that presents an alternative to continued Iranian nuclear weapons development. As I review the details of the international agreement, I look forward to upcoming briefings from the Administration which will give me the opportunity to ask the tough questions to ensure this deal is comprehensive, lasting, verifiable, and puts an end to Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons."
