HMM: Jeff Flake comes out against Iran deal. “Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), one of the few potential GOP supporters of the international accord over Iran’s nuclear program, announced Saturday he would oppose the deal, dealing a blow to the White House. . . . Flake, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has been viewed as more willing than most Republicans to support foreign policy objectives on the part of the Obama administration, including its moves with Cuba. He had been one of only two Republicans who was either undecided or had not voiced a position on the Iran agreement, according to The Hill’s Whip List, and had been lobbied by the White House to vote in favor of the deal.”
