Senate Compromises on Iran Deal, Obama Will Sign Bill

• antiwar.com

Top Senate Foreign Relations Committee members have reported a compromise on the Corker-Menendez bill which will give it bipartisan support, and the White House has backed off a threatened veto.

The details of the compromise aren't totally clear, but will include reducing the 60-day review period of the Iran deal to 30 days, though the period would be extended under certain circumstances, including if the deal is submitted during the summer recess, as it well may be.

The White House had long threatened a presidential veto on the bill, and the backing down seems to reflect the reality that the bill is going to have enough support to override such a veto. White House officials did express reservations about linking the nuclear deal with terrorism, however.
