The Third New Television Advertisement Opposing the Nuclear Agreement with Iran Released

The group "Citizens for a Nuclear-Free Iran" has released a new television advertisement stating that the nuclear agreement with Iran increases the likelihood that a terrorist group could obtain nuclear weapons. This is the third nationwide advertisement opposing the agreement. According to the publication "The Hill," a person named David Depoutotla, who is identified as a former deputy chief of staff for the U.S. Air Force in intelligence and reconnaissance, says in the advertisement, "Let’s not forget that Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world. The deal increases the likelihood that terrorists will obtain nuclear weapons. For this reason, we need a better deal." He also states that the deal increases the likelihood of nuclear weapons proliferation throughout the region, reflecting Republican concerns that the agreement could initiate an arms race. Congress is expected to reject the nuclear agreement in September. Barack Obama has stated that in this case, he will veto the congressional resolution, and Democrats will be asked to uphold the president's veto. If all Republicans vote against the deal, 13 Democratic votes in the Senate will be needed to override Barack Obama's veto. So far, two Democratic senators, Schumer and Menendez, have opposed the nuclear agreement with Iran.
