Republican Iran letter not the action of 'reasonable people', says Clinton
Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton has condemned an open letter from Republican senators to Iran, saying their warning that the US could renege on a nuclear deal was “out of step” with the “traditions of American leadership”.
Clinton’s comments at a press conference at the United Nations suggested that the letter from the 47 senators – aimed at derailing nuclear negotiations – encroached on the president’s authority to shape US foreign policy. The purpose of the letter, Clinton argued, was either “to be helpful to the Iranians or harmful to the commander-in-chief”.
