Senator Bob Corker, a key player in the congressional debate over the nuclear deal with Iran, told Secretary of State John Kerry that the Obama administration is engaging in hyperbole to sell it.
Administration officials keep saying that “it’s this deal or war,” Corker, the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said as administration officials gave their first public testimony under Congress’s 60-day review of the accord that the U.S. and other world powers reached with Iran last week.
