Senate Passes Iran Sanctions 99-0
(Politico) Laura Rozen - The Senate on Thursday passed Iran sanctions legislation that gives President Obama only part of the flexibility he had sought to exempt some U.S. allies from its provisions. The Obama administration had sought exemptions for countries with which it is working closely to pressure Iran. Instead, the bill as passed would give the president the option to "waive" sanctions on a case-by-case basis if he certifies to Congress that national security requires it.
