Secretary of State John Kerry, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew fiercely defended the Iran nuclear deal as they faced tough questions from skeptical lawmakers Thursday.
In his first testimony before Congress since Iran and six world powers reached a historic accord curbing Tehran's nuclear program, Kerry denied criticism from Republicans that the U.S. was "fleeced" and "bamboozled" in crafting the deal. His appearance was part of the Obama administration's continued lobbying to build congressional support for the deal.
Kerry characterized the deal as the best way to help stymie Iran's nuclear program. Ahead of the hearing, Kerry and Muniz wrote an editorial for theWashington Post further underscoring the need for a nuclear deal with Iran.
