Three more Democratic U.S. senators back Iran deal, bring total to 41

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Three U.S. Democratic senators on Tuesday said they would back the nuclear deal with Iran, bringing the total number of lawmakers who have announced their support to 41 out of 100 senators.

Senators Gary Peters of Michigan, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Ron Wyden of Oregon said they would back the deal, potentially providing enough support to block a Republican-backed resolution to disapprove the nuclear deal.
