Washington Post: Obama defends Iran deal at White House press conference
President Obama on Wednesday described the agreement to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons in sweeping terms, making the case that it represented a fleeting opportunity for peace in an increasingly dangerous world.
The deal is a “historic chance to pursue a safer and more secure world,” Obama said at a news conference. “It represents “an opportunity that may not come again in our lifetime,” he added.
The Iran deal still faces a hurdle in Congress, where lawmakers will have 60 days to review and pass judgment on it. Obama said he and his staff had already begun reaching out to lawmakers to explain the details of the agreement.
WNU Editor: President Obama is convinced that this deal will prevent an arms race in the Middle East ..... I do not share his optimism.
