House Republicans say they have the votes to disapprove Iran deal

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Monday that Obama will attempt to ease concerns that the deal, which curbs Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, could put Israel’s safety at risk.

White House officials are urging Congress to pass the deal, but Baeidinejad said they are misleading Americans in order to “calm opponents in the Congress and Zionist lobbies to soothe the internal conditions prevailing over debates on the nuclear agreement in that country”, Fars reported. Mr. Obama is counting on Democrats to sustain his veto, and House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi has said they will.

A Gallup poll taken earlier this year showed that 77% of Americans believed that the development of nuclear weapons by Iran is a “critical threat” to US interests.

The administration argues that the deal it hammered out over 18 months of tense negotiations is the best, and at this point only, way to keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

“There are expectations all over the lot”, an unusually tense-seeming Schumer told Politico. “I think there’s a very good chance the president will then veto it, and then the real question is, will there be 67 votes to overcome this?” Iran would gain an economic boost and would have free reign to resume enrichment and other nuclear activities, he said.

“In the absence of a credible alternative, Congress should accept the deal and work with the Administration to strengthen its impact, while joining forces with our allies to better contain Iran’s conventional capabilities and nefarious conduct in the region and beyond”, he said.

One of the most significant regimens of global sanctions ever imposed was the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986.

Opposition to the deal has doubled since June – when 36 percent said they supported the deal and 17 percent opposed it.

“If this deal is approved, it will lock us into bad results that far outweigh its benefits”, said Vargas.

The poll also found most voters, 56 percent to 35 percent, said they disapprove of how Obama is handling the situation in Iran.

The group is starting to spend upward of $20 million on a 35-state ad campaign, including New York, where prominent Democrats like Sen. “I’m going to be very interested in what the agreement looks like to us, but also what it looks like to people in the area”, he said at the time.

Perhaps even more importantly, I oppose the agreement because it does not require Iran to stop its funding of Hezbollah and other extremist hoodlums around the world. Others disagree. But whoever is right, one thing is certain: no agreement is worth supporting if it undermines the most basic principles that must govern relations among civilized nations.
