Washington--The White House on Monday denounced efforts by Republican lawmakers to "throw sand in the gears" of sensitive talks over Iran's nuclear program as "partisan."
Spokesman Josh Earnest said a letter by 47 Republicans, including Senate leaders and several potential 2016 presidential candidates, to discourage Iran's leaders was not the role US founding fathers envisaged for the legislative branch.
