Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer worries the United States might have given too much away to reach a deal with Iran to delay its nuclear program.
Fischer insists the economic sanctions imposed on Iran have been working…and she finds little comfort in assurances by the Obama Administration that if Iran breaks the deal, the sanctions ‘snapback’.

Fischer is troubled that the deal agrees to lift economic sanctions against Iran, which she insists have been working.

Fischer says she will be reading the agreement and talking with colleagues before making a final assessment of the deal. Congress will have sixty days to consider the final deal.
