USA Senate votes rising in support of Iran nuclear deal

Vote tally supporting Iran nuclear deal rises to 31 in Senate , CBS News 30 Aug 15 WASHINGTON — Oregon’s Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley on Sunday became the 31st senator to announce support for the Iran nuclear deal, as momentum builds behind the agreement the Obama administration and other world powers negotiated with Tehran.

Merkley’s backing puts supporters within reach of the 34 votes required to uphold a presidential veto of a congressional resolution disapproving the agreement, which curbs Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars in sanctions relief.

…….A vote on the nuclear deal the U.S. and other world powers negotiated with Iran is scheduled for early September. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/vote-tally-supporting-iran-nuclear-deal-rises-to-31-in-senate/
