“If we turn around and nix the deal and then tell them, ‘You’re going to have to obey our rules and sanctions anyway, ‘ that is a recipe, very quickly … for the American dollar to cease to be the reserve currency of the world“, Kerry said at a Reuters Newsmaker event.

Washington (CNN)Republicans are likely to pick up another Democratic vote against the President’s Iran nuclear deal next week when Sen.

Now that the pact has been finalized, Kerry said such a heavy-handed approach was an option no longer.

“If one or two Republicans come out in public support I’ll be surprised, though (some GOP senators) are privately inclined to, or at at least not disapprove it”, Samore said.

The former White House official who resigned this week as head of a key US group lobbying against the Iran nuclear deal, warned Wednesday that the partisan row was hurting America’s national interest.

However, Politico reports he is calling colleagues to explain his decision and assure them he will not attempt to whip opposition. It’s certainly not one that I would ever support. “This is a vote of conscience”. I can’t cast my vote based on hypotheticals.
