House Holds Hearing On Perceived Al Qaeda ThreatFormer U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman said he believes the effort to kill the Iran nuclear deal on Capitol Hill is gaining momentum.

Appearing at a panel discussion in Manhattan on the Iran deal, the former Connecticut senator said he believes at least two-thirds of his former colleagues — enough to override a presidential veto — either oppose the agreement or are reading through the more than 150-page deal with a growing sense of alarm.

“Apart from all the details, here’s what I think is turning the American public against the deal: They don’t trust Iran,” the 2000 vice presidential candidate told WCBS 880’s Paul Murnane. “I mean, how can you make a deal with a country that says they want to kill us?”

Lieberman said ultimately the agreement would open the door to a nuclear Iran and there’s nothing in the deal about the nation’s rhetroic and behavior. Read more at WCBS 880 NY.
