WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Earlier on Tuesday, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce introduced a bill that would stop the Obama administration’s implementation of the Iran nuclear agreement.
“As Congress continues to review the President’s nuclear deal with Iran, every member must decide if this agreement truly makes our country safer. If members determine this deal does not make our country safer, they will have an opportunity to vote for this resolution when we return in September.”
The agreement, signed on July 14, 2015, eases international sanctions against Iran if the country scaling back its nuclear program and ensuring its peaceful nature.
The US Congress has 60 days to fully review the agreement, during which time President Barack Obama cannot waive or suspend congressional sanctions against Iran that are currently in place.
