President Barack Obama praised a deal reached today to rein in Iran's nuclear program, saying the agreement met the goals he had in place throughout negotiations.

"Today after two years of negotiation the United States, together with the international community, has achieved something that decades of animosity has not: a comprehensive long-term deal with Iran that will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon," Obama said from the White House, with Vice President Joe Biden at his side.

"This deal is not built on trust. It is built on verification," He said, warning that he would veto any legislation from Congress to scuttle the deal. Ref. CNN

President Obama defended the deal that aims to rein in Iran's nuclear program, telling reporters on Wednesday, "This deal is our best means of ensuring Iran does not get a nuclear weapon."

"My hope is that building on this deal, we could continue to have conversations with Iran that incentivize them to behave differently in the region," Obama said during a White House press conference.

Obama spoke directly to the press, but his real audience will be skeptical Democrats on Capitol Hill, who could join with Republicans to scuttle the deal. Ref. CNN

USA vs Iran History & Civil Business Politics

President Barack Obama, seeking to amplify his campaign to garner congressional support for the Iran nuclear deal, declared that the decision facing lawmakers next month is the most significant since Congress voted to invade Iraq more than a decade ago.

The 2002 Iraq vote, which spawned foreign policy headaches for the past two administrations, was driven by war-hungry politicians, Obama claimed. He said that opponents of his agreement with Iran were deploying similar arguments ahead of a September vote in Congress on the agreement.

With a little more than a month before the congressional review period expires, the administration has launched an aggressive lobbying effort to convince Democrats of the deal's merits. They've largely written off trying to convince Republicans, many of whom denounced the negotiations that led to the accord. Ref. CNN

Responses to the President’s Arguments for the Nuclear Deal

At American University last week, President Barack Obama gave a vigorous defense of the Iran nuclear agreement. In the belief that every student who was present — indeed, all Americans — should hear the other side, here are responses to claims the president made. (For the information of my readers, I made a Prager University video on the agreement released last week that has about five million views on YouTube and Facebook — found at www.prageruniversity.com. Americans obviously want clarity on this issue.) –President Obama: “With all of the threats that we face... Ref. Source 5k

Senate Democrats block Republican effort to derail Iran nuclear agreement

In a big victory for President Obama, Senate Democrats blocked a vote Thursday on a resolution to reject the Iran nuclear agreement. Senators voted 58-42 to stop the resolution opposing the deal from coming to the floor. Republican leaders needed 60 votes to advance the bill. The Democrats' action spares Obama from having to veto any legislation and leaves the Iran agreement intact. Under legislation passed by Congress in May, the deal will take effect unless both the House and Senate vote for a resolution of disapproval by Sept. 17. Ref. USAToday
