Two more Brooklyn Democrats sign onto U.S.-Iran deal
As members of Congress prepare to return to work in Washington D.C. next week now that the summer recess has ended, the debate over the Obama administration’s controversial nuclear agreement with Iran is sure to heat up. This week, two more House members from Brooklyn announced their support for the deal.
U.S. Reps. Nydia M. Velázquez and Yvette D. Clarke both issued statements of support for the deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA. The U.S. and its allies, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia and China, reached the agreement with the Republic of Iran in July.
Velázquez (D-Brooklyn-Manhattan) even went so far as to say that “inaction at this stage is simply unacceptable.”
