'Tough sell' in Congress
The agreement also faces hurdles within the US political establishment, with comments from both senior Republican and Democratic senators on Sunday suggesting that any deal would face tough scrutiny in the US Congress.
Republican lawmaker and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the deal will prove a "hard sell". "It appears as if the administration's approach to this was to reach whatever agreement the Iranians are willing to enter into," he told Fox News.
