During a stop in the Wyoming County Town of Wethersfield on Monday, Senator Charles Schumer spoke for the first time about the Iran nuclear deal since he announced his opposition to it late last week.
Schumer said he hass had more than 20 meetings and three classified briefings about it and it is a "flawed deal."
"If you think the government of Iran will moderate over the next several years, maybe it's okay. If you think they won't moderate, it's not okay. And I'm worried they won't moderate," Schumer said.
The Brooklyn Democrat says Iran will get $50 billion which could be used to build a missile to hit the United States.
Schumer is urging a return to the bargaining table. He says the alternative does not have to be war.
