According to the latest local reports, Anaheim fire officials announced fire crews had reached 75 percent containment of the 9,217-acre Canyon Fire 2 Saturday evening. An assistance center at the East Anaheim Gymnasium that has served almost 50 people encompassing 29 households affected by the fire will reopen for the final time from 9 a.m.-noon Monday.

These heroes deserve to be recognized for their selfless and heroic actions. Thank you for your service and please be safe as you continue battling these fires.

The President’s recently announced stategy on countering Iran rightly focuses on the full range of deadly threats from the Iranian regime. Our relationship with Iran should not be defined by one flawed nuclear deal. From Yemen to Lebanon, Iran is working to impose its brutal theocratic rule throughout the region. It supports terrorist groups like Hezbollah, bolsters the ruthless Assad dictatorship, promotes instability through sectarianism in Iraq, and abuses the human rights of the Iranian people.

We cannot allow such a regime to become a nuclear power. The nuclear deal has significant flaws that must be addressed if that objective is going to be accomplished.

As Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I am committed to work with the President to address these flaws, hold Iran strictly accountable to its commitments, and support efforts to counter all the Iranian threats. We’ll take an important step to that end on the House floor by passing bills to increase sanctions unrelated to JCPOA that target Iran’s support for terrorism and its ballistic missile program when Congress returns in the coming weeks.

This morning, I discussed how the United States can further our efforts to counter Iran with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures. Click below to watch the interview.
