White House indicates Obama will sign compromise Iran bill
None
The White House signaled Tuesday that President Barack Obama would sign a proposed compromise giving Congress a say on an emerging deal to curb Iran's nuclear program -- and a chance to undercut any agreement it doesn't like.
Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee reached a compromise on the bill as Secretary of State John Kerry and other members of the Cabinet visited Congress for a second straight day to sell lawmakers on details of a possible final deal and plead for time to reach an accord with Tehran by the end of June. International negotiators are trying to reach a deal that would prevent Iran from being able to develop nuclear weapons. In exchange, Tehran would get relief from economic sanctions that are crippling its economy.
