WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Mark R. Warner (D-VA) released the following statement on negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program: 

“As the deadline approaches on negotiations for the U.S. and our international partners to reach a nuclear agreement with Iran, I remain hopeful we will see a tough, verifiable agreement, with intrusive inspections, which will prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. I have consistently said Congress must have an opportunity to review any proposed deal, and I believe the Corker-Menendez legislation provides the appropriate avenue for Congress to weigh in on any agreement.”
