Manchin urges Blinken to keep Iran sanctions in place, allow Congress to weigh in on negotiations
Fox News
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., is calling on the State Department not to rush into giving Iran sanctions relief as the Biden administration looks to enter into a new nuclear deal with the Islamic nation.
"While I support President Biden's commitment to reengaging the Government of Iran in diplomacy," Manchin wrote, "we should not reward Iran with sanctions relief before they demonstrate verifiable efforts towards curbing their malign influence holistically; including their nuclear ambitions, terrorism financing, and dual-use-weapons development."
