Report: JCPOA Opponents to Stage Rally in Washington on September 9
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Opponents of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) reached between Iran and world powers over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program on July 14 are scheduled to stage a rally on the Capitol Hill in Washington on September 9, a report said.
The event, being organized by Tea Party Patriots, the Center for Security Policy and the Zionist Organization of America, will be staged on the West Lawn of the Capitol, The Hill reported on Thursday.
Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas are set to address the rally. Cruz, the keynote speaker, invited Trump to speak, the report added.
Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany- also known as P5+1 or E3+3) finalized the text of lasting deal on Tehran’s nuclear program on July 14.
While the United Nations Security Council has adopted a resolution to endorse the deal, the text of the document needs to be reviewed by both Iran’s Parliament and the US Congress.
US President Barack Obama has promised a swift veto in the event of a Congressional rejection of the agreement in September. US lawmakers would then have to find enough votes to override the president.
