Florida members of Congress divided over Iran deal

WASHINGTON Florida members of Congress are divided over an international deal that President Barack Obama says will prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

Several Florida members remain undecided, drawing lobbying pressure from supporters and opponents. The late-deciders could sway the final result when Congress votes next month.

"To me, this is a very monumental vote, and I am taking all the time I can get," said U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel, a Democrat who represents parts of Palm Beach and Broward counties.

The two-term member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee is getting a lot of attention from all sides.
