Why this matters in Southlake News
The concerns expressed by Texas Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz about the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran resonate with many in Southlake , where support for a strong national defense is a staple of the community. As the negotiations unfold, residents here will be watching closely to see how the agreement impacts the local economy, particularly with regards to energy prices. The CBS News poll finding that most Americans don't believe the US has succeeded in eliminating Iran's nuclear program will likely fuel continued debate in Southlake about the effectiveness of the current approach.
