I urge everyone to read Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution (the Treaty Clause) with regards to the Iran Nuclear Deal, particularly as the President is the chief negotiator but that all treaties require a 2/3 supermajority approval by the US Senate before becoming treaties under international law. As I’ve read, President Obama did not have the votes necessary for this to be a treaty under the Constitution, which is why it was called the Joint Comprehesive Plan of Action and the Iran Nuclear Deal. It wasn’t a binding treaty between the US and Iran and, more importantly, it is un-Constitutional to refer to it as a treaty. It was a feel-good agreement without teeth that the Iranian government has circumvented repeatedly and should be consigned to the dustbin of history.
