Bob Casey, Chris Coons bring number of US senators backing Iran deal to 33
More US senators are joining a growing chorus in support of the outcome of nuclear talks between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries.
Democratic senators Bob Casey and Chris Coons became the 32nd and 33rd supporters of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in the US senate. Senator Casey hailed the deal as "the best option available at this time". Senator Coons said the Vienna accord puts the US on a known path of limiting Iran’s nuclear program for the next 15 years. Democratic Senator Ben Cardin on Tuesday predicted that President Obama can garner 34 votes by the end of this week to sustain his possible veto of the Republican rejection of the deal. With 34 votes looking to be in reach, supporters have begun aiming to get 41 votes, which would block the disapproval resolution from passing in the first place. US lawmakers are to vote on the agreement later this month.
