WASHINGTON — The Senate Banking Committee is once again on track to vote on Iran sanctions legislation after an unexpected delay last week.
The markup, scheduled for Jan. 29, will provide the clearest indication to date of where Congress stands. It comes after a whiplash-inducing week that saw President Obama and European diplomats come out forcefully against any sanctions legislation while House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu behind Obama’s back to make the opposite case before Congress.
