World renowned evangelist Franklin Graham sent out a stern warning about the nuclear deal President Obama has inked with Iran, calling on Congress to use “wisdom” and discernment while they debate the specifics of the accord.
In a Facebook post, Graham said: “President Obama is heralding his nuclear deal with Iran as ‘another chapter in the pursuit of a more helpful and more hopeful world.’ I don’t think so. Iran has a history of funding terrorism around the world, and they are Israel’s worst enemy.”

Graham then said the deal hurts Israel and other U.S. allies, and wondered why Obama didn’t take advantage of the bargaining table to win the release of four U.S. hostages held by Tehran.
“We are alienating our decades-long allies and cozying up to their enemies and ours,” Graham wrote. “And Donald J. Trump was exactly right when he said, ‘we have four prisoners over there. We should have said ‘Let the prisoners out.’ One of these prisoners is our friend Pastor Saeed Abedini, and I haven’t heard the names of any of these four U.S. citizens mentioned in the negotiations with Iran. Some are calling this deal a potential death sentence for the State of Israel.”
Congress now has a short time to review the deal, but Obama has already vowed he will veto any attempt to abolish it.
Graham said much prayer is needed.
“Pray for our Congress that God would give them wisdom as they debate this important agreement. There’s a lot at stake here,” he wrote.
