Tehran, YJC. Republican senator has warned the Obama administration that the Congress will react severely to any deal sent to the UN Security Council if not sent for approval to the Congress.
Lindsey Graham, South Carolina representative to the Senate,
on Monday said that the Senate will put to vote a bill in early April which
will made it a necessity that any deal with Iran must be first addressed by the
Congress.
Graham who was speaking in the US Council on Foreign
Relations said that representatives from both Republican and Democrat parties
hold that any permanent revocation of sanctions against Iran will not be possible
without congressional consent.
I believe that this makes a lot of sense and this is
something that the Congress must do with this president or any other president,
he maintained.
He expressed optimism that the bill will pass, depriving
Obama of vetoing it as the US president had vowed.
Iran and the US, which leads the group 5+1, are in intense
talks over Tehran’s nuclear program.
They are trying to reach a comprehensive deal whereby Iran would
limit its nuclear activities and the West will in turn lift sanctions on Iran’s
economy.
