AFPI: U.S.- Iran Agreement Major Step Toward Lasting Security

Washington, DC — The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) released the following statement in response to news that a preliminary deal has been reached between the United States and Iran: 

"No administration has been positioned to end nearly five decades of terror as the Trump Administration. In just 107 days since the launch of Operation Epic Fury, American military forces have obliterated the Iranian navy, eliminated their air capabilities, and ensured that Iran can no longer arm their proxies' capabilities.

We commend the effort to finalize a 60-day Memorandum of Understanding with the Iranian regime, an important step toward ensuring that Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon and no longer threaten the American people. This breakthrough was made possible by the Administration's unprecedented military and economic pressure, particularly through Operations Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury. We also recognize the important role of our regional partners in bringing about this diplomatic breakthrough."
