Nucléaire iranien: Obama sécurise le nombre d'appuis au Sénat

Pendant les dernières semaines le Président Obama et son équipe s'employaient à regrouper suffisamment de votes au Sénat pour protéger l'entente du nucléaire l'Iran. Ce serait la cas depuis que Barbara Mikulski est devenue le 34e membre du Sénat à appuyer l'entente.

 "The agreement to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions, struck by international negotiators in Vienna in July, was the subject of an intense lobbying campaign in recent weeks by both the administration and the deal’s opponents in advance of an expected vote as early as next week on a resolution to block the deal’s implementation.

But Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) on Wednesday morning said she will back the agreement, making her the 34th senator to pledge support for the Iran deal in the Senate. This means that opponents will not be able to collect the two-thirds supermajority vote needed to override Obama’s promised veto of any legislative attempt to dismantle the nuclear pact.

“No deal is perfect, especially one negotiated with the Iranian regime. I have concluded that this Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is the best option available to block Iran from having a nuclear bomb,” Mikulski said in a statement explaining why she is backing the deal. “For these reasons, I will vote in favor of this deal.”
