The Republican-controlled Congress made clear Jan. 21 that it remains determined to weigh in on the nuclear talks with Iran despite President Barack Obama's dire warning a day earlier.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, invited Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the threat from Tehran during a joint session of Congress on Feb. 11. And lawmakers on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee declared themselves unconvinced by administration officials' arguments for keeping Congress at bay during the first Iran hearing of the new year.
