Bobby Jindal denounces Iran nuclear deal

Washington, July 15: Louisiana's Indian-American governor Bobby Jindal has joined other 2016 Republican presidential contenders in decrying the historic nuclear deal with Iran saying it doesn't go far enough. Jindal, who joined his rivals in an interview with PBS, gave three reasons for his opposition. First, Iran will be allowed to hold onto "thousands of centrifuges," which Jindal said will allow the country to maintain uranium enrichment capacity. Second, Iranian leaders aren't going to be required to sever ties with militant anti-Israel groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah, he said. Third, inspectors won't be allowed free rein to inspect nuclear sites, even though Jindal said President Barack Obama "said we will get anywhere, anytime inspections." "I worry under this president's deal we could end up with a nuclear arms race in the Middle East," Jindal said. Jindal hoped that Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary "Clinton, who's been the architect of this president's foreign policy will come out and oppose this deal and say it is time for America to stand with Israel."
