Pro-Israel senators can’t hamper Iran talks: Analyst
Press TV has interviewed Gareth Porter, an investigative journalist from Washington, and Lawrence J. Korb, with the Center for American Progress from Atlanta, to discuss an attempt by the US Congress to have a say on a potential nuclear agreement with Iran.
Porter says the Republican leadership of the pro-Israel group in the US Senate has failed to lead the nuclear talks to a standstill, stressing, however, that most Republicans recognize they are not in a position to use the newly-adopted legislation to achieve their purposes.
A potential nuclear deal between Iran and the United States will be beneficial for both sides, he states, arguing that those who claim such an accord would not benefit Washington are concerned about Israeli interests and seek to scuttle a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear case.
The White House has actually agreed on using the terminology that suggests the sanctions can be lifted in the beginning phase of the implementation of a possible deal by the Iranian side, Porter maintains, adding that Tehran and the P5+1 are able to reach a comprehensive nuclear accord as the two sides have the necessary political will.
Korb, for his turn, says the new legislation passed in the US Congress will not have any impact on the ongoing nuclear talks that could result in a final accord. He adds if US President Barack Obama vetoes the bill, congressional representatives cannot overwrite it as it would be impossible for such a move to secure two-thirds of the votes in the Senate and the House of Representatives.
