Boehner: Nuclear deal will trigger arms race

In a statement released in the past hour, US House speaker John Boehner said Iran deal will only "embolden" Tehran and trigger an atomic weapons race.

"Instead of stopping the spread of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, this deal is likely to fuel a nuclear arms race around the world," said the Republican Boehner in the statement, adding that US lawmakers will "review every detail of this agreement very closely."
