President Barack�Obama�enjoyed a major�policy�win�last�week when�Democrats�managed to rally enough votes to stop�Congress�from blocking a nuclear�agreement�with Iran.

Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J.,�who�was�one�of�just�four Democrats�in the Senate to oppose the�deal, said the deal�only manages or works to contain�Iran�s�nuclear ambitions.

On Thursday, the�Senate�held a vote on whether to reject�the resolution, the opposite of the language in the House�resolution.

It is�expected, though, that neither bill will be taken up by the Senate � meaning�they�will become merely symbolic actions.

Senate action on Thursday all�but guaranteed that�any legislation disapproving of the deal willnever�reach Obama�s desk.

�I�am heartened that so�many�senators judged this issue on the merits, and am gratified by the strong�support�of�lawmakers�and citizens alike�, he�said.��We�obviously feel quite confident in�our ability to move forward with the rest of the global community� in implementing the deal, he�said.

�There�s no�new�sanctions�relief under the JCPOA until�Iran�has completed the necessary steps that it needs to complete with the IAEA to verify the status of�their�nuclear�programme and that it�s peaceful�, he asserted.

House�Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,�said�Republicans will keep trying to stop the deal from being implemented.

If indeed these promises and assurances are achieved, as I hope they will be,�then�those�of us�whohave been�opponents�of the deal will owe a big apology to supporters.

�The benefits afforded�Iran�will enable them to, with�our�approval, construct new�weapons, fund their�well-known terrorist�allies, and continue to menace�Israel,�one�of�our�closest�allies�and the only democratic�government�in the Middle East�, Salmon said.

Across town,�Republican presidential�candidates Donald�Trump�and Ted Cruz and�other conservatives, including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, were preparing to headline an anti-deal rally on the lawn of the Capitol.

But that hasn�t stopped Republicans from continuing to fight the deal,�which�they insist will fill Iran�s coffers while failing to create a robust�nuclear�inspection regime. The House passed another resolution rejecting the deal today and has�more�votes scheduled for next week.

�This�vote�is a victory for�diplomacy, for�American�national security, and for the safety and security of the�world�, President Barack�Obama�said after the�vote. �We will not let the�American people�down�. In the Texas delegation, Representative Gene Green and Filemon Vela�bothcrossed party lines to vote against the�Iran�deal.

The next reason was the law gave 60 days of time but the republicans said that they can�t vote their decision regarding the issue as�all�the relevant documents were not submitted.
