House Approves Greater Oversight of Iran Nuclear Deal
(AP-Seattle Times) Richard Lardner - The U.S. House of Representatives voted 191-106 Wednesday to approve the Iran Terror Finance Transparency Act that would give Congress greater oversight of the nuclear agreement with Iran. The bill would bar the removal of certain individuals and foreign financial institutions on a restricted list kept by the Treasury Department until the president certifies to Congress that they weren't involved in Iran's ballistic missile program or in terrorist activities. The White House said the bill could cause "the collapse" of the agreement with Iran and that the president will veto the legislation.
