If Congress resists the negotiated agreement it will be in violation of the NPT. The agreement already passed the United Nations. Stalling in the USA is about politics. The Republicans (including presidential candidate Lindsay Graham) have openly stated they want the next President elected in 2016 to handle the agreement. It is nonsense.
The U.N. Security Council endorsed the historic Iran nuclear
deal on Monday. Now, world leaders — notably in the U.S. and Iran —
must garner enough support for the agreement at home.

The U.N. Security Council (click here) endorsed a historic nuclear deal with Iran
on Monday, and it immediately drew complaints from hard-liners in
Tehran as well as from lawmakers — particularly Republicans — in the
U.S.
The agreement, negotiated with Iran and the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China, sharply restricts Iran's nuclear program for the next decade or more in return for relief from painful economic sanctions.
But the agreement still has to pass muster in world capitals, most notably in Tehran and Washington, D.C. Here's a look at how American and Iranian officials are selling this very complex and controversial deal to their domestic audiences....
It would appear Jordon is seeing greater stability in the region with this agreement.

AMMAN — Jordan on Monday (click here) welcomed the nuclear agreement
signed between Iran and the P5+1 powers, the Jordan News Agency, Petra,
reported.
Jordan’s permanent
representative at the United Nations, Dina Kawar, said in remarks at a
UN Security Council meeting that Jordan welcomes the deal on the Iranian
nuclear issue, which took months of negotiations involving China,
France, Germany, Russia, the UK and the EU to reach an agreement.
Jordan
has constantly supported a diplomatic and peaceful solution to the
Iranian nuclear issue, and thus it backs support any step taken to
enhance regional and international security and stability, especially in
light of the recent crises facing the region, Kawar said.
She
said that the Kingdom hopes the deal will increase trust between the
Middle East’s countries and be the beginning of a comprehensive dialogue
directed over regional controversies.
Kawar
said Jordan hopes that the envisioned dialogue becomes the first step
to end the arms race in the Middle East and totally clear it from all
kinds of weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear arsenals....
