U.S. Political Reaction To The Iranian Nuclear Deal

VOA: US Presidential Candidates on Iran

WASHINGTON - Most Republicans running for their party's nomination in the 2016 presidential election have been strongly opposed to the nuclear deal with Iran.

"Even former top Obama officials think emerging deal will ‘not prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapons capability’,” Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush tweeted last week. Included in his tweet was a link to a New York Times article about a letter from five former White House advisors expressing concern about the potential deal.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio was one of 47 Senate Republicans who signed a letter to Iran’s leaders earlier this year warning that any nuclear deal they reach with the Obama White House might not survive once he leaves the presidency in early 2017.

WNU Editor: The U.S. Congress can fume and argue all that they want .... but bottom line .... their options are limited. This Al Jazeera report summarizes it perfectly .... The reality of the Iran deal: Congress can't 'kill' it (Al Jazeera).
