The Senate plans to vote Thursday on passing legislation to let Congress review any U.S. nuclear deal with Iran, after lawmakers reached an agreement barring votes on Republican-proposed changes to the measure.
The bipartisan agreement doesn’t allow votes on provisions sought by Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, who are 2016 Republican presidential contenders.
