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.

If Congress doesn't ratify the treaty -- then why would it need to pass legislation to prevent its implication?
And I am sure 80% of this deal will be classified information, subjecting public debate to imprisonment.
Screw Obama. He is the greatest evil this planet has ever produced. Time for deal with him just as the Persians have.
Answer Bob Corker.
And there is NOT A SMIDGEN of corruption at the IRS....
God sees and records all. Can’t fool or snooker Him. Choosing evil will not end well and He’s no respecter of persons. Pity the deceitful fools—they will have a rude wakening in due course.
Riiiiight! And don’t worry about ISIS, they’re merely a JV team.
No, he really is stupid. A loose nut dropped into a massive set of gears can destroy them just as if it knew what it was doing.
Obama is no smarter than a loose nut dropped into a set of complex gears. Liberal media alone put him there. He didn't do it himself. He's an idiot.
will he bet his life on that?
“That you know of.”
It's a done deal. They all want to be a part of Obama's historic legacy...and a free ride on AF1. There will be boring speeches droning on and on with their thumbs hooked in their lapels to look statesman like. All the time knowing it's all for show.
Even L4B cannot be this stupid, so we are left to ocnclude he is treacherous. Sadly, the Congress is owned so they will not fulfill their oath to OUR Constitution. I don’t know which is more despicable, the treacherous enemy who does not try to hide that he hates America, or the lying scum who sell their oath to the highest bidder regardless of how many are slaughtered because of their closet treachery.
They won’t get a nuclear weapon just like you can keep your insurance plan/doctor, yada yada, yada.
I listened to Netanyahu’s address this morning regarding O’s surrender to Iran. His closing words were that Israel will ALWAYS take appropriate measures to defend herself.
And the march toward Armageddon continues apace.
Iran will get nuclear weapons on Obama’s successor’s watch. His finances need to be watched closely after he leaves office and IF he should become enriched by Iranian interests (The Obama Foundation???) he should be tried for treason...
That may even be true. Hussein is apparently set to send American scientists and engineers to Iran to develop it for them. He says, of course, that it is to help out with Iran’s development of peaceful nuclear energy. Or we may just transfer some nukes to Teheran.
And you can keep you’re insurance and get 2500 to boot.
He is not wrong.
He is lying.
Dear President Obama, “Chol eh madaret sag khord”. Your friends, The Iranians.
and your medical insurance premium will go down.
Right... He only lies when his lips are moving.
