John Carney announces support for Iran Nuclear Deal

Another Delaware congressmen announced his support for the Iran Nuclear Deal.

Congressmen John Carney announced Wednesday, he believes the agreement is better than no deal at all.

In a statement, Carney said, in part, “That’s the choice I believe we face. Some whom I respect deeply believe the United States can reject this deal, go back to the negotiating table, and hammer out a new, better deal. I simply do not believe that is possible. Our negotiating partners have made clear that the international sanctions regime that forced Iran to participate in the talks will collapse if the U.S. rejects this deal. Our options for preventing Iran’s acquisition of a nuclear weapon will diminish, bringing us closer to the moment every one of us wants to avoid — U.S. military action against Iran.”

His announcement comes as Senators Chris Coons and Tom Carper of Delaware along with Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland supported the deal.

Senate Democrats say they have clinched enough votes to block a disapproval resolution against the deal.
