Senators Bernie Sanders and Al Franken are standing with President Obama by praising the progress towards a diplomatic solution to Irans nuclear program.
In a statement, Sen. Sanders (I-VT) said, While much more work remains to be done this framework is an important step forward. It is imperative that Iran not get a nuclear weapon. It also is imperative that we do everything we can to reach a diplomatic solution and avoid never-ending war in the Middle East. I look forward to examining the details of this agreement and making sure that it is effective ?and strong.
Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) called on Congress to give the negotiators more time to finish the agreement, Americans want to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and they would prefer to do it through diplomacy rather than military action. This breakthrough agreement is an important step toward that goal. I believe that Congress now should give our negotiators time and space to work out the details of a strong, verifiable comprehensive agreement.
Democrats and liberals get it. Republicans are trying to sabotage any Iran nuclear agreement because they want a new war in the Middle East.
President Obama laid out the options for dealing with Irans nuclear program during his statement today:

war.
The arrogance of the right wing thugs in this country, who have amply demonstrated how much they can screw things up by their invasion of Iraq, which destabilized the entire region, are doing the best they can to get us into another war.
Whoever said there isn't a difference between the republicans and Democrats, better pull their head out of the sand
