Iran nuclear deal likely to survive US Congress

摘要

Washington—President Barack Obama appears to be nearing a veto-proof margin in Congress that would preserve the Iran nuclear deal, even with a key Democratic senator last week announcing his opposition. According to a “whip count” by the Washington Post, 29 senators have indicated that they support the Iran deal, leaving Obama five shy of the 34 needed to uphold a presumptive veto against a resolution of disapproval, assuming all senators are present for the vote.
