Senate will not have a vote on Iran Sanctions. Reuters. January 14, 2014. Reuters.

No Sign Iran Sanctions Bill Will Come to US Senate Vote. http://www.voanews.com/content/reu-no-sign-iran-sanctions-bill-willcome-to-us-senate-vote/1830305.html WASHINGTON Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made clear on Tuesday he has no immediate plan to allow a vote on a bill that would slap new sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, even as backers promised to keep up their efforts to win more support.

Committee Chairmen are opposed to Iran Sanctionsbill will not pass. Herb, Jeremy. January 14, 2014. The Hill. Dems back away from Iran sanctions legislation. http://thehill.com/blogs/global-affairs/middle-east-north-africa/195477-reiddems-back-away-from-iran-sanctions The majority leader noted 10 of his committee chairmen are opposed to the bill, which is sponsored by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.). The Menendez-Kirk bill would implement new sanctions against Iran should Tehran violate the interim agreement or walk away from the negotiations. While [the negotiations] are going on and while the legislative process is working forward here, Im going to sit and be as fair an umpire as I can be, Reid said, a sentiment seconded by at least one Democratic co-sponsor of the measure. Obama had sought to avoid a vote on new sanctions, which could put Senate Democrats in an awkward position, and Reids comments indicate he and other members are giving the White House breathing room.

Proponents of the bill are no longer pushing to pass the bill. Sargent, Greg. January 15, 2014. The Washington Post. Push for Iran Sanction Bills Loosing Momentun? http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plumline/wp/2014/01/15/push-for-iran-sanctions-bill-losing-momentum/ Harry Reid and Senate Dem leadership aides have been telling reporters that there are no plans for a vote on a new bill to impose sanctions on Iran a vote the White House fears could derail diplomacy and make war more likely. Yet it may actually be even worse than this for proponents of the bill. Even Senators who support the measure are no longer pushing for any vote, and have no plans to do so for the foreseeable future, a Democratic Senator who favors the bill tells me. At the moment, theres no rush to put the bill on the floor, says this Senator, who asked for anonymity to be candid about the real state of play on the measure. Im not aware of any deadline in anyones head.
