Dems could break with Obama on Iran
Top Democratic senators are weighing whether to break with President Obama on Iran after the White House pressed them Thursday to delay another round of sanctions.
The Senate Banking Committee had been expected to introduce new sanctions legislation next Tuesday and mark it up next Thursday, a Senate aide told The Hill. That timeframe is now in doubt after administration officials urged top staffers on the Banking and Foreign Relations panels to hold off during a meeting at the White House on Thursday.
