Opponents of the Iran nuclear deal
failed to secure (NYT)
the Senate votes needed for a disapproval resolution on Thursday,
making it almost certain that the agreement will go into effect without
the use of a presidential veto. The House of Representatives is slated
to
vote (WaPo)
on procedural motions on Friday. The agreement is slated to be formally
adopted in October, ninety days after it was endorsed by the UN
Security Council. Earlier this week, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah
Khameini said the country would not hold further
negotiations (VOA) with the United States beyond nuclear issues. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif is scheduled to
visit (Reuters) Beijing next week to discuss the Iran nuclear agreement and boost ties with China.
