Opening round of Iran sanctions fight kicks off in Senate
« on: January 20, 2015, 08:41:01 am »
WASHINGTON - Congress and President Barack Obama are on a fast track toward confrontation over sanctions on Iran.

A bipartisan group of senators is pushing a new round of penalties despite the president's warning that they would scuttle delicate talks under way to prevent Tehran from being able to develop a nuclear weapon.

A Senate hearing this week on Iranian sanctions is the opening round of the new Republican-led Congress' first foreign policy fight with the White House. Obama came out swinging last Friday, telling Congress he would veto any Iran sanctions bill that lands on his desk.
