Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement after House Democrats' working reception with President Obama at the White House:

"This afternoon, President Obama made a strong and forceful case for supporting the nuclear agreement with Iran. The President has been very clear: a nuclear-armed Iran is unacceptable to the United States and unacceptable to the world. It is clear that this agreement offers the best, long-term plan to stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon.

"The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is about intensifying our vigilance over every aspect of the Iranian nuclear program. All options remain on the table should Iran take any steps toward a nuclear weapon or deviate from the terms of this agreement."
