US Democrats oppose latest Iran sanctions bill

A group of US Senate Democrats told the White House on Tuesday that they will not support passage of an Iran sanctions bill until at least the end of March.

The decision could halt the march of legislation that would levy more sanctions on Iran if no diplomatic agreement can be reached to prevent Tehran from being able to develop a nuclear weapon. Republicans could still push sanctions legislation – but without Democratic support, Congress would not likely have the votes needed to override a veto threatened by President Barack Obama.

The latest Democratic declaration on the sanctions appears intended to show that congressional Democrats are supporting the policy of their president.

Obama said if there is new sanctions legislation, Iran could walk away from the negotiating table, saying the "United States was operating in bad faith and blew up the deal." And he said the willingness of America's international partners to enforce existing sanctions against Iran would wane.

2. Anyone who votes for further sanctions

is an Israeli toady and doesn't care about his own country or it's people. Another name for someone like that would be warmonger.
