Former Ambassador Thomas Pickering On Iran Deal, Schumer

While praising President Obama's work in the issue, and promising not to lobby his fellow lawmakers to follow his decision, New York's Senior U.S. Senator, Democrat Charles Schumer, issued a statement last night in opposition to the joint comprehensive plan of action, better known as the Iran nuclear deal. Schumer is the highest ranking Democrat to come out against the plan. A strong supporter of the agreement is Thomas Pickering, the former U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Russia and Jordan and  the U.S. Ambassador to the UN during the first Gulf War. Ambassador Pickering, now vice chairman of Hills and Company, says the deal with Iran is rock solid.
