What Chattanooga-area politicians said in response to President Donald Trump’s announcement that he was withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal: › U.S. REP. CHUCK FLEISCHMANN, R-TENN. “Iran has continued on its malicious, murderous mission to destabilize the Middle East and act as a state sponsor of terrorism all the while advancing its ballistic missile program. I stand behind President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran deal and await further details as we enter the implementation period, details which I hope take into account the concerns of our international allies and aid in the creation of an agreement to advance global security.”

U.S. SEN. BOB CORKER, R-TENN.

“It is disappointing that the administration was unable to reach an agreement with our allies, specifically to remedy the ‘sunset’ provisions that allow Tehran to significantly ramp up its nuclear enrichment activity less than a decade from now. However, based on conversations I have had in recent days, it is my sense that the administration will move quickly to work toward a better deal.”

U.S. SEN. LAMAR ALEXANDER, R-TENN.

“The president said he will now work with our allies to get a better agreement with Iran. I hope that happens — an agreement that makes our country and the world safer from the possibility of a nuclear-armed Iran.”

U.S. SEN. JOHNNY ISAKSON, R-GA.

“President Trump is approaching this threat with the strength and resolve that was lacking in the previous administration. For the security of our country, I agree that we need to start over on this flawed agreement.”
