President Barack Obama on Tuesday secured 41 votes in the U.S. Senate for the international nuclear deal with Iran, just enough to block a final vote on a measure of disapproval.
Democratic Sens. Richard Blumenthal, Gary Peters and Ron Wyden all announced they would support the agreement.
Their support along with that of 38 other Democratic and independent senators in the 100-seat chamber who favor the accord would be enough to block a Republican-backed resolution disapproving of the nuclear deal, between world powers and Iran.
