A new bill pushed by perennial hawks Sens. Lindsey Graham (R – SC) and Bob Corker (R – TN) aimed at putting a hard deadline of November 24 on Iran nuclear negotiations has failed, with a vote blocked by Sen. Chris Murphy (D – CT).
The bill would’ve reinstated all sanctions against Iran which have been waived during the negotiation as of November 24, and would’ve forbade any further extension of the nuclear deadline, and would’ve also given Congress 15 days to kill any deal reached before that date.
The incoming Senate is planning a bill that aims to do much the same, though if negotiations are still ongoing it risks facing a veto from President Obama. Either way, no such bill seems likely to get a vote in the lame duck Senate.
With only a week and a half left to the deadline and the hostility of the incoming Senate, the new Iran deadline is starting to feel more and more final, and while there is some hope of a settlement, progress has been slow going.
Good.
As the deadline approaches, Benjamin Netanyahu is looking to purchase a couple bags of Iranian cement, this time he doesn't want the ones that read, "made in Iran" in English.
They are trying in every way to bring down this black president what a shame.
There is no other way out except negociations as Muscles don,t produce results. Americaneeds 100billion market with cash to revive their economy.
With weapons you can,t revive your economy.
The highest priority of Iran is to stop Empire USA from trading war materials for Middle-East oil, surely the sanctions are permanent.
Since things turned out so good in Iraq, Uncle Sam can't wait to work the same magic on Iran
