More Than 70 Nuclear Nonproliferation Experts Announce Support for Iran Nuclear Deal

The Republicans find themselves increasingly alone in opposing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal. Back on July 20, not only did the United Nations Security Council unanimously endorse the JCPOA, but we saw a “Statement by National Security Leaders on the Announcement of a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” signed by 60 national security leaders, from cabinet members to senators.

Yesterday, more Than 70 nuclear nonproliferation experts announced support for the joint comprehensive plan of action. The statement, The Comprehensive P5+1 Nuclear Agreement With Iran: A Net-Plus for Nonproliferation, dated August 17, states that,

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is a strong, long-term, and verifiable agreement that will be a net-plus for international nuclear nonproliferation efforts.
It advances the security interests of the P5+1 nations (China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States), the European Union, their allies and partners in the Middle East, and the international community.
