Senators in the US are seeking to pass a law to block any possible agreement with Iran over its controversial nuclear program.

US legislators come at a time when the United States of America (USA) is close to reaching a nuclear agreement with Iran, under which it will return to its nuclear commitments.

On Thursday, Republican Senator Ted Cruz and others introduced a bill that would prohibit the Joe Biden administration from waiving congressional sanctions that ban cooperation in Iran's nuclear program.

In light of the American pision and the conflict between Republicans and Democrats over returning to the nuclear agreement, there remains a question about the ability of voices opposing the understanding with Iran to obstruct any possible agreement between Washington and Tehran, especially in light of Biden's insistence on completing the agreement as soon as possible.

Republican Senator Cruz said, during his presentation of the bill, that the administration of President Joe Biden is dismantling sanctions and seeking to secure a new agreement with the Iranian regime.
