WASHINGTON (AP) — The latest developments on Obama administration officials' testimony Tuesday before Congress on the Iran nuclear deal (all times local EDT):

10:48 a.m.

Secretary of State John Kerry is warning members of Congress that if they vote to disapprove the nuclear deal negotiated with Iran, Tehran will move forward toward an atomic bomb, international sanctions will crumble and the U.S. will be left without with any of the access and inspections that are part of the deal.

Kerry told members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee that they face a choice between an agreement that will curb Iran's nuclear program and impose strict inspections, or no deal at all. If the U.S. walks away from the agreement, Kerry says America's international partners will not follow.

He pledged that the U.S. will continue to push back against Iran for its support of terrorism and human rights violations. But he says it will be harder to push back against a nuclear-armed Iran.

House Republicans oppose the deal and Rep. Eliot Engel, the ranking Democrat on the committee, suggested that the deal might just be pushing the "pause button" on Iran getting a nuclear weapon for 15 years.

The Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee is blasting three of President Barack Obama's Cabinet secretaries who are on Capitol Hill to sell the Iran nuclear deal to Congress.

California Rep. Ed Royce said that instead of considering a "verifiable" and "enforceable" agreement," lawmakers are being asked to consider what he said was a deal giving Iran permanent sanctions relief for temporary nuclear restrictions.

Royce says the agreement's inspections regime falls short. And he says he's upset that Iran will get what he dubbed a "cash bonanza" further emboldening Tehran in the region.

Secretary of State John Kerry, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew are testifying as part of ongoing hearings and briefings from Obama officials. Lawmakers have begun a 60-day review of the plan.
