Congress may throw wrench into Iran nuclear deal

US lawmakers are preparing a possible vote on new sanctions against Iran, a move President Barack Obama and his P5+1 partners fear could sabotage the nuclear deal reached in Geneva.

Administration officials have beaten a path to Capitol Hill in recent weeks, warning Congress against short-circuiting the delicate negotiations.

Now that the talks have borne fruit in the form of an interim accord on Tehran’s nuclear program, officials are again encouraging a go-slow approach by lawmakers to allow the parties to reach a final deal.

But the public and private lobbying has not deterred many in Congress who are determined to tighten the noose on Iran’s oil sector and industries like mining, construction and engineering.

1. So long as Barack Obama is POTUS,

the GOP-dominated Congress will oppose anything that might possibly make him look good regardless of the merits.

Just as the sun rises in the East ...

Those who are bankrolling their GOP puppets make far more profits out of conflict and misery than out of peaceful dispute resolution.

3. Just doin their job.

Harming the U.S. (and a few others in the bargain).
