Congress Grows Restless As Iran Talks Drag

Mark Dubowitz, an Iran sanctions expert and executive director of the hawkish Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, said the administration will likely have to compromise on some form of more intense sanctions if a deal is not struck by November 24.

“The administration cannot agree to yet another delay without movement on new sanctions,” Dubowitz said. “This will be politically unsustainable on the Hill and, as importantly, a delay without additional leverage will put US negotiators in an even weaker position to persuade Iran to reach a comprehensive deal.”
