’Israel’ Seeks Congressional Intervention on Iran

Local Editor

Pro-"Israel" groups in the US rely on new Republican majority to promote hardline policy against Iran, according to i24 News on Wednesday.

The Republicans, much like "Israel", have taken a harder line on Iran's nuclear program and have continuingly championed for more sanctions to be imposed on Tehran, i24 News wrote.

The Republicans' hardline view of Iran has led, according to The [Zionist] Telegraphic Agency, to the Pro-"Israel" community in the US to seek now support for proposed legislation that would insert Congress into the process.

The American "Israel" Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC] said in a statement after the announcement on Monday that the world powers and Iran had extended the deadline for a permanent deal that: "It is now essential that Congress take up new bipartisan sanctions legislation to let Tehran know that it will face much more severe pressure if it does not clearly abandon its nuclear...program."

Iran and the world powers extended the deadline to reach a final nuclear deal until July 1, 2015.

The next round of negotiations are going to resume soon and all the involved countries will continue the talks over the next weeks.

Under the Geneva interim deal agreed last November [2013], the five permanent members of the UN Security Council- the US, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany undertook to provide Iran with some sanctions relief in exchange for Tehran agreeing to limit certain aspects of its nuclear activities.
