Only 6 days for new traitorous GOP move on Iran

I truly thought one traitorous GOP action over the US-Iran nuclear negotiations would suffice. Apparently, the GOP House invite to Israeli President Netanyahu to speak of sabotaging the negotiations before Congress, against every decent tenant of a US bi-partisan foreign policy, didn't satisfy the GOP Senate. It took just 6 days for 47 GOP senators to one-up their House counterparts by sending a letter to the "Leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran" designed to sabotage the negotiations directly, instead of through their Israeli intermediary. They told Iran that any deal with the Obama administration won't be approved by a Republican controlled Senate, and if a Republican is elected president next year, the whole deal could be abrogated with "the stroke of a pen."

Iranian Foreign Minister, Dr. Javad Zarif's sensible, measured response shamed the GOP warmongers' feeble attempt to put America at risk for another Middle East war with this smack down: "In our view, this letter has no legal value and is mostly a propaganda ploy. It is very interesting that while negotiations are still in progress and while no agreement has been reached, some political pressure groups are so afraid even of the prospect of an agreement that they resort to unconventional methods, unprecedented in diplomatic history. This indicates that like Netanyahu, who considers peace as an existential threat, some are opposed to any agreement, regardless of its content."

Maybe these two disgraceful actions by the GOP are simply their version of a Six Day War against Obama.
