Rahm Emanuel Backs The Iran Deal
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, one of the country's more prominent Jewish Democrats, said Wednesday that he supports President Barack Obama’s deal on Iran’s nuclear program.
Emanuel, who served as Obama’s chief of staff during the first two years of his presidency, during which time the administration began exploring diplomatic entreaties with Iran, said that the resulting agreement met the thresholds initially envisioned. With no other credible path available for curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions, he urged lawmakers to recognize the deal's merits.
“I would say to you this agreement is a good agreement and it is far superior to either sustained bombing that would never actually get you what you have today or sanctions that would exist on paper but with no international support,” Emanuel said in a phone interview with The Huffington Post.
