Former US secretary of state John Kerry warns Congress that it would be “extraordinarily dangerous” for it to reject the Iran nuclear deal that he helped broker.
US President Donald Trump last month decertified Iran’s compliance with the 2015 agreement, but stopped short of scrapping the deal outright, instead handing the issue over to Congress.
Kerry tells the Chatham House international affairs think tank in London that the decision “was clearly made without relevance to any fact whatsoever” and criticized the involvement of Congress.
“It’s been flipped over to the Congress with instructions, you guys fix it.
“How the US Congress, which wasn’t part of the negotiations, which isn’t certified to be part of the negotiations, fixes an agreement which is working is beyond me,” he adds.
