More Than 200 Republicans Work To Sabotage Chances of Iran Nuclear Deal

More than 200 Republicans in Congress have sent a letter to President Trump urging him that any deal with Iran must involve the complete dismantlement of Tehran’s nuclear enrichment program, which Iranian officials have made clear is a non-starter.

The letter was signed by 177 GOP House members and every Republican in the Senate except for Rand Paul (R-KY). “The Iranian regime should know that the administration has Congressional backing to ensure their ability to enrich uranium is permanently eliminated,” the letter reads.

The Republicans pointed to comments from Trump administration officials demanding Iran eliminate uranium enrichment, though it’s unclear if that’s the demand they’re making in talks with Iran, since negotiations continue to advance.
