WASHINGTON (AP) — Overcoming ferocious opposition, President Barack Obama secured a legacy-defining foreign policy victory Wednesday as Senate Democrats clinched the necessary votes to ensure the Iran nuclear agreement survives in Congress.
The decisive 34th commitment came from Maryland Democrat Barbara Mikulski, who is retiring next year after three decades in the Senate. In a statement she said "no deal is perfect, especially one negotiated with the Iranian regime." But she called the pact "the best option available to block Iran from having a nuclear bomb."
Supporters now have the votes in hand to uphold Obama's veto, if one becomes necessary, of a resolution of disapproval Republicans are trying to pass this month. GOP lawmakers who control the House and Senate ardently oppose the agreement, which curbs Iran's nuclear program in exchange for hundreds of billions of dollars in relief from international sanctions.

I dont know how many times people need to re peat this, iran has had the chance to build nukes since the 70s.
Still no nukes, a few years back agents of mossad said that iran was not building any nukes.
Oufff getting tired of repeating, all the facts are out there and are easy to find.

I am of the belief that Iran already has nukes and that is why this deal was so favorable to them.

Diplomacy is better than war 99% of the time.
The Lindsay Graham style rhetoric is a danger to Earth 100% of the time.
We shall see how it pans out.
I have high hopes.

What actions? Graham never even read the deal and he was proclaiming that it was a bad deal.

You are aware of Iran's links to terrorism? You are aware that Iran has 2 proxy armies that it uses to attack Israel and fighting in Syria?
