Iran Nuclear Deal Secured After 34th Senator Voices Support 
------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Obama administration has secured enough votes to ensure the future
of the nuclear deal with Iran. On Wednesday, Maryland Senator Barbara
Mikulski became the 34th senator to support the agreement. That means
even if opponents in Congress pass a resolution to undermine the nuclear
deal, Obama has enough votes to sustain his veto and uphold the Iran
agreement. The victory comes nearly two months after Iran, the United
States and five other world powers reached the historic deal to curb
Iran's nuclear activities.
