White House Presses Senate to Delay New Iran Sanctions
(Reuters) Timothy Gardner and Patricia Zengerle - The White House hosted a meeting of aides to Senate committee leaders on Thursday seeking to persuade lawmakers to hold off on a package of tough new sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program. While Congress has sought harsher sanctions on Iran, the administration wants more time to give negotiations a chance. The negotiations are due to resume Nov. 7-8 in Geneva.
