The Iranian government is urging the United States to go straight to the United Nations to finalize any agreement reached in the coming weeks regarding Tehran’s contested nuclear program without seeking congressional approval.
Javad Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister and top negotiator, suggested in a recent interview that the U.N. Security Council should be responsible for approving any agreement reached between Western powers and Tehran over its nuclear program, a proposal that the Obama administration entertained on Thursday.
The State Department argues that a nonbinding agreement with Iran—one that would not be subject to congressional oversight or approval—could be more enforceable due to the removal of opposition by a majority of Republican lawmakers to a deal.

What unmitigated chutzpah to make such a suggestion in defiance of the US government. They could have sent a private message suggesting their crooked approach. But they made it public to stick it in the craw of Republicans, all Americans especially after Netanyahu's speech.
No way Iran thought of this on its own.
Why are we even talking to these people?
(Other than the obvious reason that our President favors the continuing survival and growth of the terrorist Islamic regime in Iraq, as he proved beyond doubt in 2009 when he denied all support of any kind (moral, sanctions, arms) to the Green Revolution movement which had a good chance of toppling the regime with U.S. help.)
Hello Iran , Kerry said the deal with you was nothing more than a Pile Of Obama Droppings
The People have lost control of the government;
as the EXEMPT hunt them, infect them, control them,
and shift their wealth to criminal illegal aliens
and the “rebels” (al Qaeda) and now Iran.
The People have no “say” whatsoever since the elected EXEMPT
can lie, can fake documentation, can avoid all
accountability, and can make special deals
when the EXEMPT have more “flexibility”.
Interesting insight that makes perfect sense.
Riiight [in the voice of G-d from Cosby's Noah skit].
I look forward to seeing everyone in this Regime in the docket for high crimes against the United States of America. Obviously, Iran is getting the best end of whatever deal Obozo is offering. I suspect Obozo will follow their lead as he truly does despise our once great country.
“I take orders from Iran (and Valerie Jarrett). Deal with it”.
B. Obama
Valerie Jarrett said she’s staying in the White House until the lights go out
It reminds me of rats lobbying against rat poison.
“The State Department argues that a nonbinding agreement with Iran [...]could be more enforceable... “
Nonbinding = more enforceable.
Nothing to see here, folks. Just keep voting Dem.
There is still nothing to bind and make USA follow any phony UN resolution. This is all delaying and diversionary tactics to stall off anybody eliminating the Iranian nuclear strike force buildup, including their new long range ICBMs with which they can nuke American cities. Nothing more.
Congress needs to turn the screws and threaten EVEN TIGHTER sanctions if Iran goes to U.N. on this matter.
“...Iran instructs U.S....”
What do you mean, “Iran instructs U.S.”??????
My U.S.A. doesn’t take “instructions” from some two-bit, flea encrusted country that is still living in the 7th century...
FU, Iran...There is YOUR instructions....
They can’t do a damn thing to you for being truthful........
The US State Department is not now and has not been for at least two generations interested in anything beneficial to the United States. They have looked favorably on almost all programs that supported dictators, Marxists and Socialists. Agenda 21 is their bible.
