The Obama administration sent the Iran Nuclear Deal to Congress last week, Congress now has 60-days to review all the elements of the deal. Many concerns and questions surround the deal.
If approved, what happens if the next president scraps the nuclear deal? Will the nuclear agreement keep Iran from building a nuclear weapon? Is the agreement enforceable?
And are there any unintended consequences? Last week Secretary of State John Kerry defended the Iran deal, saying that it “Is a choice between a diplomatic solution and war.” Critics of the plan question whether war is truly inevitable if Congress does not approve the deal. Will the deal change relations between the U.S. and Iran, or will it have very little effect?
