A U.S. senator has announced her support for the international agreement on Iran's nuclear program. Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland is the 34th member of the Senate to commit to a vote supporting the deal. The Senator said that deal was not perfect, but was the best available plan to keep Iran from getting a nuclear bomb.

Also Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry spoke in the city of Philadelphia in support of the international agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Congress is expected to debate the agreement next week during the closing days of a 60-day review period.
