Republicans continue to oppose Iran nuke deal
...
The prospect of re-entering a deal with Iran has sparked GOP pushback and skepticism.
“I’ve never been optimistic. I fought the last one," said Sen. James Risch (Idaho), the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee. "You’re just not dealing with people who want to be reasonable.”
Dozens of Republican senators are vowing to block President Biden’s attempts to return the U.S. to the 2015 nuclear deal, underscoring how partisan divisions threaten the deal’s viability.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), joined by 31 other Republican senators, wrote a letter to the president on Monday suggesting that the administration is required to submit to Congress agreements reached with Iran related to its nuclear program.
The letter goes on to raise the possibility that submission of documents related to a deal with Iran will trigger a congressional review and “includes the possibility of Congress blocking implementation of the agreement.”
It adds that any treaty not ratified by the Senate "is subject to being reversed, and indeed will likely be torn up, in the opening days of the next Presidential administration."
The original deal was a bad one and Biden's would be no better. Biden is actually facilitating Iran by canceling Trump's sanctions on the rogue regime in Tehran.
