July 29, 2015 Morgan Freeman & Jewish Congressman Levin Support Iran Nuclear Deal -------------------------------------------------------------------- In news from Washington, the proponents of the Iran nuclear deal have gained key allies this week, including famed actor Morgan Freeman and Representative Sander Levin, who is the longest-serving Jewish congressmember. This support comes as Secretary of State John Kerry warned that rejecting the deal could lead to Iran gaining nuclear weapons. In a now viral video released Tuesday, Morgan Freeman and other actors, comedians, politicians and diplomats called on Congress to approve the deal. Morgan Freeman: "Ultimately, we could be forced into a war with Iran, another dangerous, drawn-out and expensive conflict in the Middle East with many lives lost." .
