Obama insists deal with Tehran will work as he promises to veto any legislation to stop it
The president spoke from the White House Tuesday morning on the historic deal struck with Iran to suspend the country's nuclear weapons program
He urged Congress to approve the deal, while threatening to veto any bill that would stop the agreement from being put in place
President Obama urged Congress to approve a historic nuclear weapons deal struck with Iran this week, threatening to veto any such legislation that would stop the agreement from going through.
Obama spoke from the White House Tuesday morning after the deal was announced.
Addressing skeptics of the agreement, Obama said, 'This deal is not built on trust. It is built on verification.'
He said the nuclear agreement ensures that Iran 'will not develop a nuclear weapon' by cutting off every path to building one.
'This deal demonstrates that American diplomacy can bring real and meaningful change,' the president said.
As the agreement was being reached, the Obama administration was criticized by many for negotiating with a country that has been a sworn enemy of the U.S. for decades.
But on Tuesday, President Obama said that 'you don't make deals like this with your friends'.
He explained that this deal will perhaps help a future president from having to make the decision on whether to stop Iran from securing a nuclear weapon by force and that without the deal, there is a greater chance of more war in the Middle East.
'We give nothing up by testing whether this problem can be solved peacefully,' Mr Obama said.

This F***ing idiot is always wrong. He is one of those who is too stupid to realize how dumb he is.
I don’t know about the rest of you but I certainly feel reassured. And, isn’t it the feeling that really, really counts? LOL! In a sad kinda way though. So, what exactly DID we get out of this “deal” anyway?
He’s never said the truth once.
Why start now?
this administration is INSANE
The Media needs to be nuked. They are the source of most of this nation's political problems. With their thumb on the scale, our elections are not a true representation of Democracy. We can't have fair elections when they deliberately mislead the people.
“I am not running for president”
“You can keep your insurance”
“You will not be forced to go against your religious beliefs”
I see a pattern here.
The truth from the Squire of Gothos (AKA Man child)
President William J. Clinton, October 18, 1994:
“The United States has been concerned about the possibility that North Korea was developing nuclear weapons since the 1980’s. Three administrations have tried to bring this nuclear program under international control. There is nothing more important to our security and to the world’s stability than preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. And the United States has an unshakeable commitment to protect our ally and our fellow democracy South Korea. Thirty-eight thousand American troops stationed on the Peninsula are the guarantors of that commitment.
Today, after 16 months of intense and difficult negotiations with North Korea, we have completed an agreement that will make the United States, the Korean Peninsula, and the world safer. Under the agreement, North Korea has agreed to freeze its existing nuclear program and to accept international inspection of all existing facilities.
This agreement represents the first step on the road to a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula. It does not rely on trust.”
Carve those words in beach sand because they will be blown away with a gentle breeze or a quiet wave ripple.
If your words are no good then so are you.
And people once thought that no one could ever be worse than Carter. Jimmmuuuh is grinning like the Cheshire Cat!
He lies!
O-hole is the most arrogant, dangerous ignorant dumbass the world has ever produced...
“Your taxes won’t go up. Not one dime!”
“If you like your insurance policy, you can keep it”
If you like your non-nuclear Iran, you can keep your non-nuclear Iran. No one is going to take that away from you.
Obama is not stupid...He is doing exactly what he wants to do and he is accomplishing exactly what he wants to happen....
The downfall of the United States of America...
THAT is his goal...
I’m not sure what’s behind this. I don’t think it’s incompetence.
What does the U.S. get out of the deal?
