Prepared Statement by Senator Joseph Biden Before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Hearing: Iran: Weapons Proliferation, Terrorism and Democracy

May 19, 2005

Weapon Program: 

  • Nuclear

With the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program coming to a head, our hearing today couldn’t be more timely. 

Iran is threatening to break out of an agreement it reached with the foreign ministers of Britain, France, and Germany last November in which it committed to halt all uranium enrichment and reprocessing related activity. 

Any break out by Iran must be met with a swift, firm, and united response by the United States and our European allies.
