Congress will take a hard look at unresolved questions about Iran's nuclear program this coming week as negotiators race to cut a deal by their end-of-the-month deadline.

The House Foreign Affairs panel on the Middle East holds a hearing March 24 on "Iran’s Noncompliance with Its International Atomic Energy Agency Obligations." This comes as more than 360 House members — including every member of the committee — have signed on to a letter to President Barack Obama urging a "full understanding of Iran's past program."
