The Rising Insurgency for Sanctions Against Iran
(Foreign Policy-Bloomberg) Raymond Tanter - The draft Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act of 2015, dubbed the Kirk-Menendez bill, is a diplomatic insurance policy imposing conditional sanctions against the risk that Tehran fails to negotiate in good faith by June 30, 2015. An 18 to 4 vote in the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday reflected bipartisanship for a tougher diplomacy toward Iran. Several Democrats voted for the bill, including Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Jon Tester (D-MT) and Mark Warner (D-VA).
