U.S. Rep. Grace Meng: Iran deal 'simply too dangerous'

Rep. Grace Meng (N.Y.) said the "deal before us now is simply too dangerous."

"I strongly believe the world could and should have a better deal
than that set forth in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which I
will therefore oppose," said Meng, who is a member of the Foreign
Affairs subcommittee on the Middle East.


Meng added that she would continue to study the finer points of the deal, but said, "They will not be dispositive for me."

Her remarks come a day after she questioned Secretary of State John
Kerry and other top administration officials during a panel hearing on
Tuesday.


Meng called the inspections procedures "flawed," and said leading
nuclear experts have asserted that inspectors would "not necessarily
know" if Iran was manufacturing uranium components for a nuclear weapon.
