Obama Administration to bypass Congress on deal with Iran?



Obama Administration reported plan to bypass Congress on a deal with Iran
  • Administration’s plan to suspend economic sanctions against Iran without a vote in Congress
  • …Administration says Congress will have final say in whether to permanently lift sanctions


Permanent sanctions would only be lifted if Tehran demonstrates compliance with restrictions on its nuclear programme
  • …and Iran must make sufficient progress in conceding its programme


At the same time, consider whether US requires Iranian support in the battle against the Islamic State?

According to Saudi intelligence, the P5+1 have conceded that Iran can maintain a civilian nuclear infrastructure

  • Saudi wants the GCC to influence Congress to not approve retention of any nuclear facility
