(Reuters) - Republican senators warned Iran on Monday that any nuclear deal made with U.S. President Barack Obama could last only as long as he remains in office, in an unusual intervention into U.S. foreign policy-making.
The letter, signed by 47 U.S. senators, says Congress plays a role in ratifying international agreements and points out that Obama will leave office in January 2017, while many in Congress will remain in Washington long after that.
WNU Editor: I am sure that the Iranians know that any treaty and/or agreement will need to pass the US Senate. But they also know that if the other powers involved in these talks should agree with the terms, they will abide by it regardless of what the U.S. may think .... and for the Iranians that will be a significant foreign policy "win".
