Quote: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-idUSBREA0J00420140120
Quote: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/195756-republicans-vow-new-iran-sanctions-push#ixzz2qyGDLKzI
