Unanimous UN Security Council vote proves strength of Iranian deal - Obama

The United Nations (UN) Security Councils unanimous approval of resolution on Irans nuclear deal shows that the agreement is the best way to prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, US President Barack Obama said in the White House on Monday.



WASHINGTON (Sputnik) Earlier onMonday, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution onIrans nuclear deal reached onJuly 14 byIran and the P5+1 group ofcountries that includes China, France, Russia, the United States, Britain and Germany.
It will send a clear message thatthis is byfar our strongest approach toensuring that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon.


Under US law, members ofCongress have 60 days tofully review the final nuclear deal withIran. During the review period, Obama will not be able towaive or suspend congressional sanctions currently inplace againstIran.
My working assumption is that Congress will pay attention tothe broad-based consensus.


On Wednesday, US Secretary ofState John Kerry, Secretary ofEnergy Ernest Moniz, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and a senior intelligence official will conduct classified briefings formembers ofCongress todiscuss the deal withIran.
