The Iran nuclear agreement includes two secret side deals covering a key Iranian military site and other past arms activities, according to two lawmakers who are demanding that Congress be granted access to the documents.
The secret agreements were reached between Iran and the International Atomic Energy (IAEA) on Tehran’s past nuclear arms work and are a central component of the Vienna accord reached by Iran, the United States, and five other states.
A key part of the nuclear agreement requires Iran to disclose all military nuclear arms work before international sanctions are lifted. The IAEA has until December to report on the past military activities.
Rep. Mike Pompeo, (R., Kan.), a member of the House Permanent Select Committee, said in an interview he first learned of the secret side deals by questioning IAEA officials.

But Bachelor in Paradise is on!
Could someone please explain to me how an international “agreement” doesn’t require congressional approval, and in fact requires a veto-proof majority to stop?
Last I knew, treaties require a two-thirds majority in the Senate to pass. They conveniently got around this by designating treaties as “agreements” (think NAFTA, CAFTA, and the plethora of recent “trade agreements”), which seem to “require” a plurality in both houses.
Now we are being told that the pResident can veto any attempt to limit this last “international agreement”.
Not that it is surprising, but does Congress have any role now? (Rhetorical question)
The role of any government official in Washington, D.C. is to promote tyranny. This is simple: more power and control for them and enslavement of the people.
