Obama warns against further sanctions on Iran
President Barack Obama Friday issued a stern warning to Congress that any legislation threatening additional sanctions against Iran could derail talks to end its nuclear program peacefully, while British Prime Minister David Cameron worked the phones to try to convince senators to back off.
Obama set low expectations for a deal with Tehran to stop its nuclear ambitions – “less than 50-50,” the president said at a news conference with Cameron – but he warned that legislation being considered on Capitol Hill to impose sanctions if they do not succeed could lead them to fail.
