New York, NY — The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations issued the following statement:
The U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding follows a period of unprecedented strategic and military cooperation between the United States and Israel that significantly degraded Iran’s nuclear and military capabilities.
We are encouraged by President Trump’s repeated and unequivocal commitment that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon. That objective must guide any negotiations and any eventual agreement.
At the same time, many important questions remain unanswered. We look forward to learning more about the memorandum, including its enforcement and verification provisions, consequences for non-compliance, and how it addresses Iran’s ballistic missile and drone programs, support for terrorist proxies and other destabilizing regional activities, and the security concerns of U.S. allies and partners. Resolving these and other issues will be essential to building a more secure, stable, and prosperous future for the region.
