Sen. Tester: Iran Agreement A Step In The Right Direction

The agreement over Iran’s nuclear program is “a deal with the devil” that should be rejected by Congress, Rabbi Richard Block, immediate past president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, said in an op-ed today in The Hill.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who has been outspoken about his belief that the Iran deal is a historic mistake, was uncharacteristically quiet after meeting with McCarthy’s delegation on Wednesday and with Hoyer’s group on Sunday.

Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., who is poised to become the next Senate Democratic leader, has announced his opposition.

If it passes, the deal could unravel, and the only other option for responding to Iran is military action.

Engel told USA Today that his decision to oppose the Iran deal was a very hard one “because this is a Democratic administration and a President I’ve worked with”.

Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking at a Reuters event in New York, hit back at Schumer’s argument on his own turf – in particular the idea that it was possible to get a better deal. Some Democratic lawmakers have already said they favor the deal while others, including Sen.

Just over 1-in-4 (27%) say Congress should vote to approve it and about 1-in-3 (32%) say Congress should not, while a plurality (41%) are not sure what Congress should do. Obama would need either 34 senators or 146 House members to oppose an override in order to uphold the veto.

“We found them red-handed with facilities they should not have had, with materials they should not have had”, Kerry said. “It will be a vote of conscience for my colleagues”.

“This codifies Iran being a threshold nuclear state after 10 years”, Senator Schumer told media.

Eyre said the achieved nuclear deal requires the most comprehensive supervision, inspection and verification measures.
