US envoy to UN: Rejecting Iran deal would isolate Washington
None
Rejecting the Iran nuclear deal would lead to diplomatic isolation for the United States and significantly undermine Washington's ability to achieve other foreign policy goals, the US envoy to the United Nations said on Thursday.
In an article published on the Politico website, US Ambassador Samantha Power said diplomats from the 193 member states of the United Nations are tracking the heated US congressional debate over the deal "like they tracked the World Cup soccer pairings last year." "From this vantage point, I believe that rejecting this deal would significantly weaken our ability to achieve our broader foreign policy goals - most of which in 2015 require us to mobilize broad international coalitions," Power wrote.
