Newscast Media WASHINGTONPresident Barack Obama has asked the U.S. Congress to refrain from imposing fresh sanctions against Iran while negotiations on a permanent nuclear deal are underway.

Obama said he will veto a bill on more sanctions against Iran if it comes to his desk while negotiations are continuing between Tehran and six world powers.

But Obama said if Iran ultimately refuses to "say yes" and provide assurance that they are not secretly developing nuclear weapons, he would go to the U.S. Congress and ask them to "tighten the screws."

Speaking at a joint press conference at the White House with British Prime Minister David Cameron, Obama said there is probably less than a 50 percent chance of a diplomatic deal with Iran.

But he said the likelihood of talks with Iran collapsing would be high if Congress passes a bill for more sanctions against Tehran.

Cameron said there is a prospect of success in talks with Iran, and that he has contacted U.S. senators about the issue.    Add Comments>>
