Sherrod Brown backs Iran deal

Additionally, several members of Congress reported late last month that an adviser to French President Francois Hollande had told them that Congressional rejection of the current deal could be the basis of reopening negotiations and getting a better deal.

DEARBORN-The Dearborn Democratic Club is encouraging Michigan members of congress and the senate to support the Iran Nuclear Deal.

Mr. Cohen and Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz were quick to send out statements agreeing with the federal officials.

In an open letter published by the “Washington Post“, the retired officers said gaining worldwide support for any possible military action against Iran “would only be possible if we have first given the diplomatic path a chance”.

It was not clear exactly where Bronx state Sen.

But it’s definitely a good deal for Iran, complete with billions of dollars in cash to fund terrorism and a campaign against the U.S. and its allies – without even toning down its “Great Satan” rhetoric. Obama has said he will veto that decision, but needs the support of his fellow Democrats to sustain the veto.

Before Kerry’s subtle message came, President Barack Obama also accused critics of the Iran deal of making common cause with Iranian hardliners who chant “Death to America”.

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

Tester’s announcement makes him the 19th Senate Democrat to publicly endorse the deal reached between the U.S., Iran and five other countries to halt Iran’s nuclear weapon ambitions in exchange for loosening economic sanctions and inspections. Observers see it as a message to lawmakers against killing the July 14 Vienna agreement signed between Iran and world powers that Kerry helped to negotiate. Sherrod Brown and Rep. Marcia Fudge, say they have not decided how they will vote when the matter comes up in mid-September.

Brown said if Iran breaks the terms of the agreement, “all options remain on the table”.

The briefings by Ambassador Dan Shapiro were also “incredibly similar” to prior years, we were told, although there was discussion this time about the nukes deal and how the civil war in Syria was affecting the situation in the Middle East.

If Congress were to vote down the deal, he said, the U.S. would lose the moral high ground.

Asked by a reporter if that is realistic, Schumer said it was. This is probably the most important vote I will take as a United States Senator. Why?

“Unfortunately, a large portion of the Republican Party, if not a near-unanimous portion of Republican representatives, are going to be opposed to anything that I do”, he said in a Monday interview with NPR. “It will be a vote of conscience for my colleagues”.
