Provide resources to keep military strongest in the world

• Build our global coalition to wipe ISIS off the face of the earth through overwhelming, immediate force.
• Stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons with a tougher treaty that demands anytime, anywhere inspections, ensures strong verification measures and forces accountability for supporting terrorism.
• Fully support passage of an emergency spending bill for our military in 2017 to provide our diplomatic, intelligence and military communities the resources they need.

Opposes Obama's Iran nuclear deal; needs more verification

Eldridge said he opposes the agreement, which aims to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars in relief from international economic sanctions: "I think the Iran deal is a bad deal for our country," Eldridge told The Associated Press. "Reaching this deal enables $100 billion or more to go to the largest state sponsor of terrorism. That's just not a good deal in my opinion."

Boozman and the other members of the state's all-GOP congressional delegation have criticized the deal. Eldridge said he didn't think the deal's verification measures are strong enough, and said he doesn't think the U.S. should negotiate the agreement without discussing Americans imprisoned in Iran.
