White House 'confident' on finalizing details for Iran nuclear deal
None
The White House on Friday pressed its case for a deal to curb Iran's nuclear program, expressing confidence in hammering out final details as President Barack Obama reached out to leaders in Congress, where US lawmakers remain cautious.
Obama called the four top leaders in the House of Representatives and the Senate to discuss the framework agreement announced on Thursday by negotiators in Switzerland, a spokesman said. The agreement lays the groundwork for a final deal to be laid out by a June 30 deadline.
"We feel good," White House spokesman Eric Schultz said. "There's a lot of work to be done, but we are confident we can get those details in place."
The president also placed calls to the leaders of Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
