GOP Letter to Iran Analysis

The LA Times has an analytical piece on the GOP letter to Iran: "The disclosure this week that Republican senators sent a letter to Iran about its nuclear program is the latest example of how Obama's GOP critics have ignored the traditional deference to a commander in chief on foreign policy, while also reframing an issue of bipartisan concern in more starkly political terms."  

Iran's Foreign Minister weighed in directly on the issue two days ago.  Of note, a bigger issue than just the talks: "their [47 Republican Senators'] letter in fact undermines the credibility of thousands of such mere executive agreements that have been or will be entered into by the US with various other governments."
