A group of European ambassadors trying to save the Iran Deal made a pilgrimage to Capitol Hill to make their case before Congress that the agreement to curb and track Iran's nuclear program should be kept in place.

The ambassadors from the UK, EU, France and Germany met with at least 30 senators laid out the case and said that there is a "lot of misunderstanding" about the deal on the hill. They felt that in the end that they had made a convincing argument for preserving the agreement.

Though the Europeans want to keep the deal intact, they are are willing to consider strengthening the monitoring of the Iranian nuclear sites by the IAEA. They pointed out that there is no part of the deal that forbids inspections on Iran's military sites and reminded senators that Iran has not turned down any request for inspection. They also reiterated that China, Russia and Iran all say there is no way to reopen the deal. And it is not possible to open, or re-negotiate, the deal with one party. None of these entities have plans to walk away from the deal with the US.

It is also the case that these countries, whose diplomatic efforts helped forge this deal, have made to the White House.

"We have offered to work with administration on a range of policies and actions to push back on Iran in the region," explained a Western diplomat. They have been giving White House staffers suggestions about what can be done in the region to exert more pressure on Iran.

The ambassadors learned that senators have little interest in disrupting the deal. Congress has been told by the secretaries of State and Defense, as well as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that it would be better for U.S. national security to leave the deal intact.

"The GOP majority is not that excited about getting the 'Old Maid'," said a Western diplomat. But ultimately, "they would like to avoid a crisis."

I'd guess it's due to having multiple tabs open.
