Capitol Hill will be a beehive of dueling messages on Iran next week as negotiators hurdle toward their self-imposed Nov. 24 deadline for a nuclear deal.
The Republican-controlled House Foreign Affairs Committee will hold not one but two hearings on the risks of a "bad deal" with Tehran. Peace activists, meanwhile, are planning a show of force toward the end of the week with just days to go before the deadline.
