AIPAC, the leading pro-Israel lobbying group in the US, expressed opposition to the emerging US-Iran agreement, arguing it is far more extensive than the 2015 JCPOA, according to a statement from the organization.
AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, has joined the growing chorus of criticism against the emerging US-Iran memorandum of understanding, calling it 'far broader' than the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) negotiated under President Barack Obama. In a statement posted Monday evening, the influential pro-Israel lobby group expressed strong opposition to the deal taking shape under President Donald Trump, asserting that the current framework grants sanctions relief in exchange for what it called vague Iranian commitments. AIPAC has previously demanded that any final agreement must include full nuclear oversight, removal of all enriched uranium, dismantlement of enrichment facilities, and limits on Iran's ballistic missile and drone programs. The group's intervention follows a wave of criticism from Israeli commentators, US lawmakers from both parties, and former administration officials who have described the emerging deal as weaker than the 2015 accord. As The Zioneer has reported, opposition figures including former Vice President Mike Pence and Democratic Senator Jack Reed have characterized the agreement as a significant strategic setback. The statement was published on AIPAC's X (formerly Twitter) account, citing a direct link to the organization's post.
