Watch Obama Attempt to Clarify Remark Comparing Those Against Iran Deal to
President Barack Obama had specifically sent his then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to convince India to join the US-led global sanctions against Iran, following which New Delhi took steps to reduce its import of oil from Iran that had considerable impact on the Indian economy, a fact acknowledged by the White House.

Last month, the UK, France, Germany, Russia, China and the US signed the long awaited deal with Iran, giving Tehran sanctions relief in exchange for rejecting of pursuing a nuclear bomb and allowing inspectors of the global Atomic Energy Agency (UN’s IAEA) into its nuclear facilities.
President Obama is set to deliver a speech at American University next week in order to galvanize congressional support for the U.S.-Iran nuclear deal.
With polls showing strong opposition to the deal among the American public, the White House is under pressure to increase support for the deal, which Congress will vote on in September. We don’t trust Iran, but I think too many people are judging this deal against the status quo, not what the new situation would be on the world stage. He is the No. 3 senator and wants to become Senate Democratic leader after the 2016 election.
In a statement, Schumer said, “This is a vote of conscience, and while I will be sharing my views with my colleagues, any attempt to twist arms or be heavy-handed on a vote of conscience backfires”. “And what I’m convinced of is that this deal is a good deal even as we work with those allies to constrain Iranian actions in some of these other areas”. There’s also Democrats who are on the fence about this deal.
The senator says renegotiating would be hard, but he believes sanctions are strong enough to keep Iran invested in brokering a deal. Just over 4-in-10 (41%) Democrats say Congress should approve the agreement compared to just 14% who oppose it, but 45% of Democrats remain unsure.
Moira Smith, a spokeswoman for Wagner, said she is expects the trip to include a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“The test of a great nation is not how many wars it can engage in, but how it can resolve global conflicts in a peaceful manner”, said Sanders, a Democratic presidential candidate who said he spoke to President Obama on Friday.
“You’re actually putting them back to the very unsafe place that we’ve tried to move them away from”, Kerry said.

Last week, New York Senator Charles Schumer announced his opposition to the nuclear agreement. Obama has threatened to veto such a vote requiring both houses of Congress to muster a two-thirds vote to override the veto.
