Kerry says Iran accord won’t be submitted for Congress approval

US Secretary of State says lawmakers won’t be able to change the terms of any nuclear agreement with Iran because it won’t be legally binding.

At a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Kerry says he reacted in “utter disbelief” to a letter this week from 47 Republican senators warning Tehran that an accord with President Barack Obama’s administration could expire the day he leaves office.

The letter risks upsetting global trust in US treaties, he says.
