Nadler endorses Iran nuclear deal after Obama letter
A personal letter from President Barack Obama to U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler outlining the reasons for the Administration’s nuclear deal with Iran might have been the final piece of the puzzle that helped persuade the influential House member to sign onto the controversial agreement.
Nadler (D-Upper West Side-Bensonhurst-Bay Ridge) announced his support for the Iran deal on Aug. 21, just two days after receiving a four-page letter from the President in which Obama sought to allay the congressman’s deep concerns over the agreement.
Nadler, who has served in congress since 1992, is considered a strong supporter of Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is already on record as being vehemently opposed to the deal.
