American Lawmakers Write Another Letter on Iran
Arutz Sheva ^ | Thursday, March 19, 2015 | Elad Benari

Posted on 03/19/2015 6:33:39 PM PDT by Star Traveler

Bipartisan letter, signed by 360 lawmakers, will remind Obama that sanctions relief on Iran requires new legislation from Congress.

A bipartisan letter on Iran signed by 360 members of Congress will be sent to President Barack Obama, one of its House signers said on Thursday, according to The Hill.

The letter, similar to the one 47 Senate Republicans recently sent to Tehran's leaders, reminds the administration that permanent sanctions relief on Iran as part of a deal to rollback its nuclear program would require new legislation from Congress.

It comes as international negotiators approach a March 24 deadline to reach a framework agreement.

"Should an agreement with Iran be reached, permanent sanctions relief from congressionally-mandated sanctions would require new legislation," the letter says, according to The Hill.

"In reviewing such an agreement, Congress must be convinced that its terms foreclose any pathway to a bomb, and only then will Congress be able to consider permanent sanctions relief," it adds.

The letter stops short of supporting legislation pursued by the Senate that would allow Congress 60 days to weigh in on any final deal before its implementation.

However, it adds, "We are prepared to evaluate any agreement to determine its long-term impact on the United States and our allies."

Let's see, today is March 19.

We could be 5 days away from fundamentally changing the Middle East.

I would imagine that Obama’s head is about to explode. Things aren’t going well for his Arab Spring in Syria, then Bibi gets a landslide, now Congress is raining on his Iranian parade again. What’s a despot to do? He could through a very dangerous tantrum soon. Better give him some Reggie time.

If Obama could get away with it, he’d make Stalin look like a Boy Scout.

Indeed he would! and Stalin didn't have nukes.

You make an excellent and scary point.

I see some kind of major showdown coming.

The letters are warnings ... NOT action. The ACTION comes when they carry out the warning ... when they REJECT the agreement with Iran that Obama puts together!

The letter was not sent to Tehran. It was addressed to Iran and posted on a website

Won’t faze him in the slightest. He’s in full ‘do-whatever-the-Hell-I-want’ mode from now until January 2017.

He can do whatever he wants in getting a paper agreement but it won’t carry any weight or be enforceable past the time he is there ... just like the first letter spelled out to the Iranians ... :-) ...
