NEW: Sen. Tommy Tuberville says Sen. Lindsey Graham called his scheduler after returning from an overseas trip, saying, "Listen, I'm having chest pains. I need to do something."
When asked, "Did you call 911?" Graham replied, "No, that's the reason I called you." The scheduler then called 911, and first responders forced entry into Graham's home.

Senior American: We are talking to Netanyahu. The president spoke with Bibi yesterday. We feel that when they see all the details of the deal and understand that the Iranians have to deliver the goods before we do anything - they will feel comfortable with that.
