Obama: If Congress Rejects Iran Deal, ‘Our Close Allies’ Will Question Our ‘Wisdom’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BARACK OBAMA: "The reason that the sanctions regime has worked is because painstakingly we built an international coalition that has held this long. If it is perceived that we walked away from a fair deal that gives us assurances Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon. Those international sanctions will fray. It won't just be Russia or China. It will be some of our close allies who are start questions our capacity or the wisdom of maintaining these. We don't want to put ourselves in that position. We want to make sure that a if there's no deal around the Iran nuclear program, it's because of Iranians were not willing to accept what the international community considered to be an appropriate and fair approach to this problem."
