House GOP shakes up Iran strategy
By Julian Hattem and Cristina Marcos
House
Republicans are changing course on a vote to oppose the Iranian nuclear
deal after facing intense criticism from some of the conference?s
conservative members.
Instead of a single vote to disapprove of the deal, the House will now hold three separate votes on the agreement.
One
would be a resolution to approve of the deal ? which is sure to fail
and, in the process, force many Democrats to break from the White House.
The
second would be to express a sense of the House that the Obama
administration has not met the requirements of legislation guaranteeing
congressional oversight of the deal by failing to give lawmakers text of
the ?secret side deals.? The bilateral deals between Iran and the
International Atomic Energy Agency are at the center of the House?s
uprising over the Iran pact, and concern the details of inspections at
some Iranian sites.
Finally, the House would vote to prevent the U.S. from lifting sanctions on Iran as part of complying with the nuclear deal.
