President Obama is renewing pleas for Senate Democrats to drop plans for new sanctions against Iran. Leading Democrats have joined with Republicans to push for new sanctions, despite the historic agreement that slowed Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein of California blasted the push for sanctions, saying it could “collapse” the deal with Iran just before it is set to go into effect next week.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein: “How does that make any kind of common sense? It defies logic, it threatens instant reverse, and it ends what’s been unprecedented diplomacy. Do we want to really take that on our shoulders? And candidly, in my view, it’s a march to war.”
