Twenty-five national faith organizations released a statement today calling on President Joe Biden to pursue an expeditious return to Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal.

As negotiators in Iran and the United States near a mutual return to the Iran nuclear deal, some in Congress are threatening to block ratification of the agreement.
