Scoop: House GOP moves to tank Biden's Iran diplomacy

Nearly 200 House Republicans have written to President Biden warning any nuclear deal made with Iran without Congress' approval "will meet the same fate" as the 2015 agreement by President Obama later abandoned by President Trump.

Why it matters: The Biden administration has been working feverishly to secure an agreement via indirect nuclear talks in Vienna, but on Wednesday, an Iranian official publicly called for Congress to pledge that the U.S. will stay in a potential deal.

Iran knows that Congress can't "pledge" to stay in a deal. No Congress can bind a future Congress and the Congress starts new every two years. If it was a treaty that would be a different matter but it is not going to be a treaty. If anything, just an agreement.
