Top GOP, Dem Senators Say Iran Compromise Reached
Alexandra Jaffe and Athena Jones of CNN report, “The top Republican and Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Tuesday they have resolved key differences on the bill regarding Iran’s nuclear plan, meaning that passage of the bill through the chamber looks more certain.” While some members of Congress were less optimistic, others said they believed the compromise resolved some key differences between the White House and Congress. “I think we can get to a place where we can deal with most of the White House’s concerns and maintain the purpose of the bill, which is an orderly congressional review and timely notice if there are material breaches,” said Democratic Senator Ben Cardin.
