In return, sanctions against the country would be relieved. 20 of 46 Senate democrats have so far supported the deal and Obama administration only needs 13 more votes to defeat a veto override.

“They certainly have the “we were together in 1961″ story”, said Rangel. “There is no trust here”. No matter your views, you are us, and we are you.
U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., is opposed to the deal. “We send our ships”. Bakhtiar writes, “Joining him (the assassin) will be numerous other Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps leaders responsible for the deaths of many Iranian dissidents, U.S. servicemen in Iraq and civilians in Syria and elsewhere”. In a film created by the Americans for Peace and Tolerance organization, Professor Alan Dershowitz tells of his request to donate money to J Street on condition that it answer questions on Iran – but for nought. The United Nations Security Council supports President Obama’s declaration and has voted in favor of the Iranian deal. Frankly, it would be hard to say that he’s wrong about any of that. Sherrod Brown confirmed on Friday that he will back the agreement aimed at curbing Iran’s effort to build a nuclear bomb.
The agreement is designed to prevent Iran from building a nuclear device during the next 15 years.
But some people apparently believe the deal should be rejected because Iran supports terrorist tactics. “Hence, no nuclear accord should provide Iran with an unearned “express pass” to global legitimacy”. “They’re a couple months away, if they choose, to make the material needed for a first nuclear weapon”.
The letters provide the White House with additional backing as it wages an increasingly uphill fight to protect the agreement from congressional destruction. Organisers say they have no affiliation with any group or political party.
The major downside for the United States is that if it alone at some point is unhappy with Iran’s performance, it would be hard-pressed to reimpose sanctions effectively. Allies would refuse to retain sanctions or impose new ones, or join in possible military action, he said. Flake, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, also posted a link to his statement on Twitter, which detailed his reasons for opposing the nuclear deal.
Then there is the half-baked provision that allows Iran to retain possession and store its enrichment equipment for use in the future for peaceful means.

Flake announced his decision the day after traveling to Cuba with Secretary of State John Kerry to attend a ceremony to officially reopen the U.S. Embassy in Havana, which closed in 1961 during the Cold War.
