The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) on Monday expressed concern over the emerging deal between the US and Iran.
In a statement, ZOA National President Morton A. Klein said the organization remains "extremely grateful to President Trump for all he did, far more than any other US president, to degrade Iran’s nuclear facilities and military capabilities in Operations Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury."
However, Klein warned that the reported agreement "appears to be an 'agreement to negotiate,'" which he said would allow the Iranian regime to obtain "massive oil revenue and time to build up its military and terror arsenals," while leaving its nuclear and missile stockpiles intact.
Referring to President Trump's statement on Truth Social that he was "authoriz[ing] the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade," Klein argued that it "makes no sense" to remove economic pressure on Iran without first securing "immediate removal of Iran’s nuclear stockpile, decommissioning of Iran’s nuclear facilities, and destruction of Iran’s deadly missile stockpile."
"President Trump’s demands on Israel to stand down in Lebanon and in Iran, to facilitate this troubling deal... plays right into the Iranian regime’s hands, undermines necessary deterrence and endangers Israel’s safety," Klein stated
