Former Secretary of State Colin Powell told NBC's Chuck Todd of "Meet the Press" that he supports President Obama's Nuclear deal for Iran currently being debated in Congress.
Powell said the opponents of the proposal were ignoring the rapid development of Iran's nuclear program dating back to the Bush years.
"They have been on a superhighway for the last 10 years to create a nuclear weapon or a nuclear weapons program, with no speed limit. And in the last 10 years they have gone from 136 centrifuges up to something like 19,000 centrifuges. This agreement will bring them down to 5,000 centrifuges, all of them under [International Atomic Energy Agency] supervision. And I think this is a good outcome."
