Iran has halted its most sensitive nuclear operations under a preliminary deal with world powers, winning some relief from economic sanctions on Monday in a ground-breaking exchange that could ease a threat of war.

The United States and European Union both suspended some trade and other restrictions against the OPEC oil producer after the United Nations' nuclear watchdog confirmed that Iran had fulfilled its side of an agreement made on November 24.

The announcements will allow six months of negotiation on a definitive accord that the West hopes can end fears of Tehran developing nuclear weapons and Iran wants to end sanctions that are crippling its economy. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/20/us-iran-nuclear-idUSBREA0J00

Republicans vow new Iran sanctions push

Republican senators vowed to launch a new push to slap sanctions on Iran on Thursday. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said the Senate needs to vote quickly on a bill calling for new sanctions. He said countries around the world were already sending commercial delegations to Iran and creating a looming threat of new U.S. sanctions would temper their enthusiasm. http://thehill.com/blogs/global-affairs/middle-east-north-africa/19575

"We're going to try to attach it to every vote that comes up before the Senate," Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo, said. "That plan is not changing."

Keep the Shiny side up


Been down this road before.

Iran swore in 2007 they weren't trying to develop nuclear weapons, and then built a hidden enrichment site at Qom.

By 2011, they were testing high-precision detonators for nuclear weapons, modifying missile nosecones to fit nuclear bombs, and had more centrifuges enriching uranium to the levels needed for bombs.

They'll do the same thing this time.
