President Obama is currently negotiating with the United Nations
concerning the current situation in Iran and if the Iran nuclear deal should
pass or not. Basically, the 6 strongest
governments in the country are deciding whether or not Iran is allowed to have
a nuclear program. Obama does not need
Congress support for the decision he is going to make on the issue, but he is
looking for help from Congress on the issue.
Politicians across the country believe that Congress should have a
bigger say on this huge issue and should vote on what they believe should
happen with Iran. Negotiations are
taking place on a case in which Congress can decide what the punishment against
Iran would be if they did not follow the rules of the agreement. The Obama Administration has been pushing
hard for the support from Congress and the general public on coming to a
peaceful deal with Iran instead of the use of military force to get our
way. Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey
stated that he believes Congress should have to review any nuclear deal that could
be made with Iran.

John Boehner, the current Speaker of the House, believes
that the United Nations will have a very hard time coming up with a mutual
agreement on what to do with the oil powerhouse and growing nuclear threat
Iran. Boehner stated that if the current
nuclear deal with Iran fails or falls apart, then the US Congress will be quick
to apply new sanctions to limit the power of the Iranian government. He also came out saying that if the US would
have never loosened the old sanctions on Iran, then this current Iran nuclear
deal and the situation with Iran would have never happened. Congress and America in a whole is in a bit
of a pickle because they need to come to an agreement with Iran in order to
keep our country and many other countries safe from the nuclear threats that
Iran poses. The only other option if an
agreement cannot be figured out, would be to take force to Iran and physically
force a shutdown of the Iranian nuclear program. This would be a lot of bombing and troops
that would most likely come off as controversial in America, noting how America
has reacted to past military expenditures in the Middle East. This deal could have serious implications on
our current military standing, economical trade and oil trade standings, and
the deal will be a very serious issue in the upcoming election. Many debates will take place questioning
whether it is a good idea to bomb Iran and use force to destroy their nuclear
program or if a peaceful agreement is the way to go, even if the Iranian
leadership is a little shaky and hard to trust.
