AIPAC, by far the most powerful lobbying group in Washington when it comes to Israel issues, is opposed to amending a bill the Senate Foreign Relations Committee recently passed that gives Congress limited power to review an Iran deal, according to a report from Bloomberg View’s Josh Rogin and Eli Lake.

An AIPAC official said that they support the idea of some of the amendments in principle but don’t want to risk producing a bill Obama will veto (the White House says he’ll sign the current bill). Amendment possibilities include requiring that any deal allow international inspections of Iranian military sites and requiring that the deal have gradual sanctions relief. Iran has opposed both ideas.

NR’s editors, while expressing mild support for the Corker bill, have argued it ought to be strengthened or complemented; that’s also more or less the position of The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol.
