The Senate recently voted in favor of the poison pill — 62 to 33 — a deeply troubling let-down for those of us pushing for a foreign policy that centers diplomacy over war, seeks to eliminate nuclear weapons, and frees ordinary people from collective economic punishment — key aspects of the Iran nuclear deal.
While this was not the outcome we worked for, we know it’s important to express our gratitude to the 33 senators who did the right thing by voting against this shameless effort to sabotage diplomacy with Iran.
