Key Senator Says Obama Shouldn't Rush to Meet Iran Deal Deadline
(Bloomberg) Indira Lakshmanan and David Lerman - The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. Bob Corker - the author of legislation that gives Congress the right to review and potentially reject any Iran deal - said the Obama administration should take as much time as it needs to get the best deal to curb Iran's nuclear program, rather than rushing to meet the June 30 deadline. "I would not support pressuring the administration to try to make a bad deal just to make a deadline," he said. "I want them to take their time." Corker said he and other members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are shocked by reports suggesting that Iran might not be required to answer all the UN atomic energy agency's outstanding questions about its past work to develop a nuclear weapon, or that it may get relief from economic sanctions before those questions are resolved.
