WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Republican chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who will play a central role in determining the congressional response to the Iran nuclear deal, said on Tuesday he begins "from a place of deep skepticism" as he considers the agreement.
Senator Bob Corker had tough words for Iran in a statement, saying it continues as the world's "lead sponsor of terrorism" and that relieving sanctions would leave it "flush with cash" and increase threats to the United States and its allies.
