McCaskill supports Iran deal

Sen. Claire McCaskill said Thursday that she will support the Iran nuclear deal, saying it would be "more dangerous" to reject the agreement.

"This deal isn't perfect and no one trusts Iran, but it has become clear to me that the world is united behind this agreement with the exception of the government of Israel," the Missouri Democrat said in a statement.

"I respect and understand those who oppose it but I have become convinced that it is more dangerous to Israel, America and our allies to walk away in the face of unified world-wide support."
