Democratic National Convention discusses Iran, Israel on day two
Former Secretary of State John Kerry touted the Iran deal and pro-Palestine activist Linda Sarsour discussed party unity as Joe Biden officially became the party's presidential nominee.
Iran and Israel came up on day two of the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night, as former Vice President Joe Biden accepted the party’s nomination to run for president.
John Kerry, who served as secretary of state in the Obama administration, touted the Iran nuclear deal in his speech on Tuesday.
“We eliminated the threat of an Iran with a nuclear weapon,” said Kerry to open his remarks at the convention.
The United States signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action as it is known in 2015 along with Iran, Russia, China and the European Union. It removed sanctions on Iran in exchange for Iranian compliance regarding its nuclear program and was a major foreign policy achievement for the administration.
