State Dept. sends Iran deal to Congress

The State Department transmitted to Congress on Sunday the nuclear agreement the United States and five other world powers struck with Iran.
That move means the 60-day clock for lawmakers to review the deal -- which Republicans have already criticized -- starts on Monday.
Secretary of State John Kerry defended the agreement alongside Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz on Sunday in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper for "State of the Union."
"The fact is that the real fear of that region should be that you don't have the deal. If Congress doesn't pass this, if Congress were to kill this, then we have no inspections, we have no sanctions, we have no ability to negotiate," Kerry said.
Giving them 1.5 billion dollars is paying for the inspection that is wrong no matter how you slice it.
