All sanctions will be lifted very quickly and there’s nothing the U.S. Congress can do to stop it, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told a New York audience Wednesday.
In a set of blustery and self-righteous remarks, Iran’s top diplomat assured the crowd at New York University that President Barack Obama will stop enforcing sanctions only days after any nuclear agreement was signed and would figure out how to lift congressional sanctions on Iran within weeks, no matter what Congress has to say about it. He said he has received Obama's assurances that any future president, even a Republican, would be compelled to stick to their agreement and that Congress is powerless to stop any agreement he signs.
