New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is giving the Obama administration's nuclear deal with Iran his full support.
"I am encouraged by this morning’s announcement of a nuclear agreement between the P5+1 and Iran and look forward to seeing additional details in the coming days," de Blasio said in a statement.
"I applaud President Obama’s commitment to working toward a comprehensive diplomatic agreement, which provides the best means of preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon," de Blasio said. "The president’s leadership has been crucial—and it should send a clear signal that the United States stands by its allies and will not accept Iran building a nuclear weapon."
De Blasio's support for a deal with the brutal Iranian regime comes as no surprise as he was also a big supporter of the brutal Sandinista regime in Nicaragua, according to Judicial Watch.
The Soviet-backed regime became notorious for brutally murdering those who opposed it in the 1980s and also holding tens of thousands of political prisoners. De Blasio traveled to Nicaragua in 1988 to assist the Sandinistas and also raised money for them.
Back in New York City, de Blasio was part of a group, the Nicaragua Solidarity Network of Greater New York, which protested the United States' support for the opposition forces. He also subscribed to the Sandinista party newspaper, "The Barricade."
