Fox News host Greta Van Susteren on Sunday assailed Senate Republicans who signed an open letter to Iran warning that a nuclear agreement with the Obama administration could easily come undone.

"It end runs the president of the United States, which I think is terrible," she said on ABC's This Week. "They could achieve the same goal without sending a letter becoming pen pals with the leadership of Iran."

Also Sunday, Secretary of State John Kerry criticized the letter's lead author, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), for taking an "unconstitutional, un-thought-out action." —Jon Terbush
