Senator: Congressional oversight needed on Iran nuke deal
WASHINGTON (AP) – The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee says Congress will exercise its “rightful role” to scrutinize and approve any agreement to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting international sanctions.
Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee says it’s important that Congress “is in the middle of this.” The influential Republican made the comment on Fox News Sunday.
Negotiators announced on Thursday a framework deal for a nuclear agreement with Iran, which would be finalized by June 30. President Barack Obama says he can make such a binding agreement with a foreign government without congressional approval.
