US Senator Rick Scott (R-Florida) said Wednesday that Iran foments unrest in the Mideast and should not have nuclear weapons and the JCPOA “is a horrible deal.”

Answering questions by Iran International TV, Sen. Scott said, “I believe Iran's whole focus is on unrest, supporting Hezbollah, Hamas, threatening Israel, and it's despicable. I don't believe they should have a nuclear weapon. I think the Iran deal is a horrible deal. ”

As talks in Vienna to revive the Obama-era JCPOA reach what diplomats say its final stage, Republican and some Democratic lawmakers are voicing concern about the Biden Administration strategy in the talks.

An agreement with Iran “should be treated as a treaty and come in front of the Congress; we have to review it. But the Biden admin is a bunch of appeasers...I'd do everything I can to stop them...,” Scott said.

Thirty-three Republican Senators wrote to President Joe Biden on Monday saying that if an agreement with Iran does not get bipartisan support and Senate approval, it will be torn up if they win in 2024. Democratic Senator Bob Menendez also last week questioned Biden’s Iran policy last week in a detailed speech on the Senate floor.

“We in Congress can pass legislation that takes away authority of the executive branch in making a decision, but the truth is they don't have the authority. This deal needs to come back to Congress and should never be done by executive branch by themselves,” Scott reiterated on Wednesday.
