As the debate on the Iran nuclear agreement appears to be all but over, President Obama and his backers are claiming a diplomatic victory, while his opposition in Congress are doing everything in their power to stop it.

Congressional leaders in the Republican party are furious over reported side deals between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
