Iran hopes nuclear deal ‘propaganda’ won’t sway US Congress
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says he hopes the US Congress will not be swayed by “warmongers’ propaganda” over the nuclear deal struck between Tehran and world powers.
“What happens in the US Congress, that’s certainly a US issue,” Zarif tells a news conference in Tunisia.
“We believe it’s a mutually beneficial agreement,” he says of the July 14 accord on scaling down Iran’s controversial nuclear program in exchange for a lifting of international sanctions.
“And if people are not too much concerned with the propaganda being raged by warmongers in our region and outside our region, there’s no reason for the deal to face any impediments in the United States,” Zarif adds.
