Iran’s top diplomat Javad Zarif said he hoped the US Congress would not be swayed by “propaganda” over the nuclear deal reached between the P5+1 and Tehran, AFP reported on Tuesday, September 1st.
Congress is due to vote this month on whether to endorse the agreement between Iran and six world powers — Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States.
Republicans strongly oppose the deal, saying it makes too many concessions to the Islamic republic and does so at the expense of the security of America and its chief ally Israel.
If the Republican-dominated Congress passes a resolution against the deal, President Barack Obama is expected to veto that move.
