YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAs nuclear talks advance before a March 31 deadline, we look at the fallout from the Republican open letter warning Iran against reaching an agreement with the United States. On Monday, a group of 47 Senate Republicans told Iran the deal could be nixed by a Republicanled Congress or future Republican president. "We will consider any agreement regarding your nuclearweapons program that is not approved by the Congress as nothing more than an executive agreement between President Obama and Ayatollah Khamenei," they wrote. We discuss the fallout from this unprecedented letter with two guestsHillary Mann Leverett, a former official at the National Security Council who served as a U.S. negotiator with Iran and coauthored the book "Going to TehranWhy America Must Accept the Islamic Republic of Iran"; and Ali Gharib, a contributor to The Nation magazine.
