President Obama spoke at American University about the nuclear agreement reached with Iran. He defended the deal, contending that congressional rejection of the deal would leave future administrations with another war in the Middle East as the only option. He said that criticisms of the agreement were coming from those who voted for the war in Iraq. The president also called the deal a continuation of “principled diplomacy,” invoking President Kennedy’s speech at American University in 1963 in which he called for a nuclear test-ban treaty with the Soviet Union. close
