Senate Rushes to Review Iran Deal

Senate Republicans are scrambling for transparency as negotiators race to finalize the Iran deal within 60 days—without lawmakers even seeing the text. Majority Leader John Thune demands faster access, insisting any agreement must force Iran to abandon its nuclear program. President Trump hints at a soon-to-come press conference unveiling the memorandum, even joking he’d ask Congress to reject it—knowing they’d likely vote it through. Senators like Hoeven argue a congressional vote would cement the deal, while others, including Bill Cassidy, suggest it might qualify as a treaty requiring two-thirds approval. Complicating matters are the need to involve Hezbollah and Israel in final talks. Democrats push back hard: Senator Chris Murphy calls the deal a surrender, while Mark Warner warns the text may not live up to Trump’s claims and demands it be shared within five days, as required by law. That law gives Congress 60 days to hold hearings and vote on disapproval—but overriding a veto would be nearly impossible with GOP control. If Congress stays silent, sanctions relief could begin automatically after the review period. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
