President Obama’s campaign to win support for the nuclear deal with Iran got a forceful boost Sunday when Sen.
Her announcement came a day after Reid of Nevada, the top Democrat in the Senate, said he would support the deal. “For me, the decision comes down to this: without this worldwide agreement, Iran will have enough nuclear material for a weapon in three months“. Peters spokeswoman Amber Moon said there was no update on his deliberations.
Dingell also called the deal America’s best security choice.
Finally, he added the “crippling” worldwide sanctions on Iran’s economy that forced the agreement in the first place will not be fully lifted until the required 98 percent reduction of Iran’s enriched nuclear stockpile is fully verified. “This process has shown me that no matter what decision one reaches on this issue, nearly everyone shares the exact same concerns”.
Rep. Elizabeth Esty, D-5 District, said Tuesday that after “diligently and carefully” reviewing the Iran nuclear deal, she’s ready to support it.
“I completely understand the deep fear and emotion involved in this debate“.
“They want to prolong this idea that this nation that has no history of attacking anyone, only being defensive, would actually seek to have a bomb when it has been so clearly stated for so many years by Iranian officials that it is not”, he said.
Nolan said he was comfortable with the deal’s inspections being tough – including camera access and live tracking of uranium mining and other processes – and not exclusively based on trust. He can then avoid the spectacle of having to veto the will of the American people on a nuclear gamble favored by him and opposed by them.
Iran has long insisted its nuclear program is exclusively for civilian purposes and does not include a weapons program.
Murray said that she has met with President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry and received classified briefings on the agreement. Hossein Sheikholeslam, adviser on global affairs to the Speaker of Iran’s parliament, told the Fars News Agency, “Our positions against the usurper Zionist regime have not changed at all; Israel should be annihilated and this is our ultimate slogan”. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich. speaks in Detroit. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said last week that “the procedure is obviously stacked in the president’s favor” and there is “a great likelihood” that the deal will go forward.

This leaves U.S. Sen. It appears Democrats have votes to block a veto override.
