GOP: Obama broke his promise on Iran

Iran is aggressively trying to upgrade its conventional military capabilities with the help of Russia and China, two of the six world powers with which it recently agreed to swear off any desire for a nuclear weapon.

President Obama, in a bid to ward off criticism of what he considers his signature foreign policy achievement, had promised opponents and skeptics he would push back against this trend. But so far that hasn't happened, and some lawmakers are growing impatient with what they consider the administration's attempts to excuse violations of U.N. restrictions against Iran that remain in force.

"The ink isn't even dry on President Obama's nuclear agreement and Iran is already breaking rules," Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., said Thursday. "This should not come as a surprise to anyone since Iran has cheated on every deal. Americans expect our nation's commander in chief to demand adherence to all international agreements, instead of allowing Iran to act aggressively without facing serious consequences."
