“We Should Hear You Loud and Clear”

“Where Are You, Sen. Gillibrand, Sen. Booker, Congressman Nadler?”

Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) questioned why Democratic leaders and Iran Deal supporters haven’t been more outspoken on Iran’s failure to comply with agreements set forth by the nuclear agreement.

Iran recently tested two medium-range ballistic missiles, a direct violation that doesn’t comply with stipulations presented in the Iran Deal. The missile testing comes on the heels of Iran lauding its underground nuclear facilities on national television.

“Iran is laughing in the face of the United States right now,” Assemblyman Hikind said, who has been against the Iran nuclear deal since Day 1. “Their continuous violations have been so predictable. It’s just a horrible deal for the United States.”

Hikind went on to pose the question: “Where are the elected officials who were in favor of this horrendous deal, and why can’t we hear them loud and clear,” referring to New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Congressman Jerrold Nadler and New Jersey Sen. Corey Booker.

Nationwide, Democrats have urged stronger sanctions following Iran’s missile testing procedures. But Hikind suggests statewide and local Democrats should jump onboard as well, saying “They should be at the forefront and fight for more sanctions. Where are they on this?”

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged that the implementation of the Iran Deal is “just days away.” Kerry, after speaking with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, reaffirmed his belief that Iran will complete its obligations in time for the implementation of the deal.

“The fact that we would put ourselves in this type of position where we sit idly by while a terrorist-ridden country mocks us, just goes to show how poorly the Obama administration has handled this,” Hikind said. “Where is our leadership? Elected officials are not only obligated to maintain our security, but also represent the peoples’ views, which are countered by the approval of this deal.”

Hikind spoke recently regarding this particular matter on Fox Business’s The Cavuto Show earlier this week after Saudi Arabia cut ties with Iran and demanding that all Iranian diplomats leave the country within 48 hours.
