Kerry: Dollar Could Suffer If Iran Deal Rejected

That reasoning led to the much-criticized White House tactic of insisting that the only alternative to the deal is war with Iran, or some other unacceptable disaster such as the desertion of the United States by its allies or loss of its dominant economic status. In return, sanctions against the country would be relieved.

The expected disapproval of the deal has left the White House scrambling to ensure it has the support of enough Democrats to uphold a presidential veto of the resolution Congress sends him.

That isn’t the case for my successor, Schumer, a strong supporter of the Obama administration and its policies.

The group plans to run TV ads in several states, targeting lawmakers who have said they are undecided about whether or not they will support Obama’s Iranian nuclear deal. “There is no trust here”. We have verification procedures down pat.

In an interview with NPR, President Obama predicted the white-hot attitudes that surround the nuclear agreement today would cool once it’s been given time to work. Robert Bartlett said in the new video, with his facial scars clearly visible. “There is no better option to prevent an Iranian nuclear weapon”, the letter says, adding: “Military action would be less effective than the deal, assuming it is fully implemented”.

Opponents need to muster two-thirds of the House and Senate to block the deal, which was approved by the United Nations Security Council on a 15-0 vote.

“It’s hard to say“, he said.

If you oppose the Iranian nuclear agreement, you are increasing the chances of war. It can use its non-weapons nuclear materials and facilities for electricity and related research. As he correctly insists, no one can predict with any assurance that Iran, the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism, will change its behavior. Notwithstanding all of these attacks on us, we have pursued our program, which we think is our right, we’re not outside the [Non-Proliferation Treaty], they’ve never left the NPT.

Among the reasons Schumer cited for his opposition, he did not like that Iran could delay inspections of so-called undeclared sites for up to 24 days.

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. First, inspections are not “anywhere, anytime”; the 24-day delay before we can inspect is troubling. If Iran does not comply, the sanctions can be re-imposed. That would be the very existence of the Iran nuclear deal. “The option is keeping the sanctions in place, and in fact, even strengthening the sanctions“. “But many countries are ‘chafing” under the present global financial arrangements, referring to the discomfort faced by many U.S. allies with regard to sanctions on Iran.
