Will Congress also listen to supporters of Iran deal?

“While concerned with many provisions of the Iran deal, Gary ultimately supports the agreement and is stepping down to avoid any conflict with UANI’s work in opposition to the agreement“, the group’s CEO Mark D. Wallace said in a statement.

Echoing Kerry’s case, 36 retired generals and admirals released an open letter on Tuesday urging Congress to back the deal.

‘There is no better option to prevent an Iranian nuclear weapon, ‘ the letter said.

Samore said he still has “reservations” about the deal, but if diplomacy is the tool at hand, and not military force, this is probably the best temporary outcome.

The U.S. administration also believes that Iran in the past few years was not engaged in nuclear development with possible military dimensions.

“I think it would be very unsafe because then it allows Iran – which before the agreement was two to three months away from a nuclear weapon – to go full speed ahead”, Welch said. “The choice is that stark”, the officials said.

After dodging questions on the Iran deal in the hope of shaking more money loose from pro-Israel donors, Hillary Clinton has finally come out for a nuclear Iran.

“We, the undersigned retired army officers, help the settlement as the simplest means at present obtainable to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons“, the declared. The regime has habitually ignored those global rules and obligations, with lethal consequences; they’ve been rewarded with a lopsided worldwide deal that legitimizes their nuclear program and guarantees hundreds of billions of dollars in sanctions relief.

“I’m not accusing anyone of willfully choosing that or being a warmonger, or suggesting that they want that, even though you’ve heard some pretty flashy language in some hearings about who wins war and what happens”, he said. “The thought that it could be replaced as a reserve currency is laughable at this point on a geopolitical basis and nothing in the Iran deal even remotely touches upon that issue”, he added.

Ninety-four House members, including Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.), recently penned a letter to President Obama demanding he fulfill his “legal obligation” to provide Congress with details of the side deals.

Sen. Chuck Schumer has become the lightning rod for the debate over the agreement with Iran on nuclear proliferation.

Schumer, a key power player, has said he’ll try to persuade his colleagues to join him in opposition.

“If my lobbyists in Washington actually succeeded in getting Congress to scrap this deal, the result wouldn’t be a better deal”, wrote Friedman, who is considered close to the Obama administration.

It’s important to note that the signatories to this letter said they do not endorse any political party, but do endorse peaceful negotiations.

“This is a vote of conscience”.
