US Secretary of State John Kerry staunchly defended the Iran nuclear deal telling skeptics warning his Senate that turning down the deal would allow to Iran to continue with its weapons program.
Mr Kerry stresses that those who oppose the deal were pushing an unrealistic alternative. The US Secretary of state, speaking at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said,
“The fact is now Iran has extensive experience with nuclear fuel cycle technology. We can’t bomb that knowledge away. Nor can we sanction that knowledge away.
Kerry said that if Congress turned down the deal, that would require the US to relieve Iran of certain sanctions, 2the result will be the united States of America walking away from everyone of the restrictions we have achieved.”
“We will have squandered the best chance we have to solve this problem through peaceful means,” he added.
On Wednesday, US Congress began a 60 day review of the Iran nuclear deal to decide whether to support or reject it.
