Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses a joint meeting of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C., the United States, calling for rejection of a bad nuclear deal with Iran, on March 03, 2015.

The U.S. Senate may vote as early as Thursday to pass the Iran nuclear review bill, according to Foreign Relations Committee chairman Bob Corker (R-TN).

Corker told reporters at a briefing at the Capitol building Tuesday he believes there will be an “overwhelming” vote to pass the bill.

Senate leaders are still trying to work out a way to consider at least some amendments to the bill, said Corker.

As of last week, more than 66 amendments to the bill had been submitted by various lawmakers for consideration.

Meanwhile, world powers led by the U.S. return next week to continue talks with Iran, this time in Vienna.

Talks at this point will be held among diplomats at the level just below foreign ministers, starting next Tuesday, with the negotiations to end on Friday.

The U.S. is expecting to wrap up talks on how to limit Iran’s nuclear development technology by June 30.

Iran is still insisting the international community lift all sanctions imposed on Tehran immediately when the document is signed.
