Price, a Democrat who represents North Carolina\u2019s 4th District, and Deutch, a Democrat who represents the 22nd District of Florida, were joined by 180 other Democrats in Congress who also signed the letter.\n\t\tThe United States, China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany and the European Union negotiated the deal in 2015. The agreement must be re-certified every three months under the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act.

The agreement was last certified July 17.\n\t\tWithholding certification \u201cwould harm our alliances, embolden Iran, and threaten U.S. national security,\u201d the letter states.
