This R&D provides resources on the brewing battle in Congress over the Iranian nuclear deal. Congress is expected to vote next month on a measure that would disapprove the deal, but it would require a two-thirds majority to overcome a veto from President Obama. Critics of the deal allege that it is rewarding a human rights abuser and a state sponsor of terrorism, while proponents argue that the deal averts war and can reward moderate elements of the Iranian political establishment.
