Deputy Secretary of State Anthony Blinken tried to reassure skeptical lawmakers on Thursday that any nuclear deal the Obama administration signs with Iran would prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon. Blinken, accompanied by Adam Szubin, acting Treasury Department undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, came to Capitol Hill as his boss, Secretary of State John Kerry, was in a fourth day of talks with Iranian officials aimed at closing the remaining gaps in the two countries´ positions. "The negotiations have been substantive and intense," Blinken told members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. "We´ve made some progress on the core issues

The administration’s motives re: Iran become more suspect every day.
Obama wants a deal that would allow him to say that Iran didn’t get nukes on his watch and to hell with whoever has to deal with them next.
Obama in his foolishness is guaranteeing that Israel will eventually deal with Iran by itself.
The it will be said of Iran: “It blowed up! It blowed up real good!”
Time for Congress to man up and tell old Hanoi Horseface to go .....himself.
Ø wants Iran to have “Safe Harbor” in its journey to being a nuclear power to wipe out Israel and be a menace to the US. “Safe Harbor” works quite well for Val too. As Iran gets closer, this safe passage is needed to ward off any attacks that may be in the works, but left for the end-game.
Congress should just Declare War against Iran and provide No Funding for troops to fight it. Them at least the TREASON being committed will be more transparent.
It’s moot what they do to Israel, God has directed them to attack Iran before any BS Un crap proceeds.They are not going to wait to the very last minute..

I have had the same thoughts. It’s all about talking points. 2021, well they didn’t nuke Tel Aviv on OUR watch.
It seems only reasonable to me, that if the administration wants cooperation from Congress, then the administration should keep Congress fully informed of the developments with Iran.
Anything less serves to diminish the co-equal status of Congress.
The WH thumbs its nose at Congress & even makes threats because Turtle Neck & Orange Face are oh so malleable & ready to please.
Disgusting.....
To hell with sanctions. When do the bombs start falling?
This must not come to pass! End of negotiations.
Get to work! Get the job done, the effort undone. NOW!
Exactly -
I might add that most of the the “rank and file” go right along. They like the perquisites.
The real problem is anything this administration says cannot be trusted. Name one thing they were truthful on? My fear is the administration gets the “deal” takes off the sanctions and then Iran reneges. What we will we do about it? Draw a red line? We know how that goes. It will also be next to impossible to reimpose sanctions. Iran has no downside to this deal. From Iran’s perspective: best case sanctions come off and they are building nuclear weapons; worst case sanctions go back on and they build nuclear weapons. Big deal, worth the risk, they learned from Putin and Ukraine—agree to anything/everything and then do what you want. Israel is the only one keeping the process honest—”you build it, we bomb it.” That’s why Israel is not being brought in, they won’t compromise, they know once sanctions are off there will be no leverage on Iran.
Os motives really stink regarding Iran. It would be easy to believe that Iran Intel is blackmailing O, and threaten to reveal to the world who this poseur Obama’s real identity and background information. Call it far fetched, but something is driving O and Val to stick their necks out for Iran to the point of treason.
Obama is the focus of evil in the world.
