Extract from a US Congressional Research Service (CRS) report, published on May 13, 2026:
🔘 "Any agreement 'relating to the nuclear program of Iran' would trigger the congressional review requirements of the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 (INARA; P.L. 114-17).
🔘 More broadly, Members [of Congress] may engage the Administration on the management of the conflict and its implications for Iran; for U.S. cooperation with Israel and other Middle East partners; for the U.S. and global economies; and for U.S. military readiness, tactics, and strategy."
This demonstrates that the ultimate, decisive power lies with the lawmakers, not the President.
⛔️ As Trump previously emphasized, even if Iran hands over all its uranium, the sanctions will remain in place because Congress binds the hands of any president and will not vote to lift them.
Here lies the absurdity of the negotiations: the White House signs an agreement, while Congress stands guard to keep the sanctions exactly as they are.
