Sen. Al Franken moves from "leaning towards" to "support" on Iran deal

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Al Franken moved from "leaning" to backing the Iran deal earlier this week to "supporting" it in an op-ed published on CNN.com Thursday.

"This agreement is, in my opinion, the most effective realistic way to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon anytime in the next 15 years," he wrote, "there's no doubt in my mind that this deal represents a significant step forward for our national security."

When asked about the agreement in an interview in July, Franken did not sound indecisive.
