Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, called on lawmakers and on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton Tuesday to repudiate the nuclear agreement with Iran.
“Iran’s Supreme Leader should know that a future American president will not be bound by this diplomatic retreat,” Mr. Walker said. “To ensure the safety of America and our allies, the next president must restore bipartisan and international opposition to Iran’s nuclear program while standing with our allies to roll back Iran’s destructive influence across the Middle East.”
Mr. Walker said the agreement “will be remembered as one of America’s worst diplomatic failures.”
“Instead of making the world safer, this deal will likely lead to a nuclear arms race in the world’s most dangerous region,” he said. “What’s worse, the deal rewards the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism with a massive financial windfall, which Iran will use to further threaten our interests and key allies, especially Israel.”
