Iran's Nuclear Deal Underway; Tehran, U.S. Already Agree On Conditions

Iran and the six world powers including the United States already agreed on conditions in order to finally settle the nuclear deal that was supposed to be due last March 31 of this year.

However, The Wall Street Journal reported that the final deal being reached is still far from being possible since there are still major hurdles that Iran and the six world powers have to talk about. The final deal should be complete by the end of June this year that would control the nuclear work of Iran for the next 25 years in exchange of sanctions being lifted.

Two of the main reasons why there is no final date yet as to when a deal will be reached is because of no set date for when the sanctions will be lifted and the other is when can Iran be able to resume with their nuclear activities after the first decade of having strict limitations as per agreement for the 25-year settlement.

United States President Barack Obama shed some light on this issue saying that he believes the recent agreements will lead to a comprehensive deal and that it will make the countries involved have a safer world to live in.

The details of the agreement include giving Iran only a year to amass all the nuclear fuel they could get to prevent them from developing a nuclear weapon, which is feared by many countries especially Israel. In exchange for the agreed deal, the sanction from the West should lift their sanction that the country could not export oil since it has crippled the economy of Iran when it was implemented.

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarid shared in a statement that although they will still continue with their nuclear programs for peaceful purposes, this will not assure that a diplomatic approach towards the West will be attained since the two countries have had a strained relationship for almost four decades now.

Despite the agreements reached by the world powers and Iran, Fox News reported that the Republicans are a bit troubled with the news as they fear that if the deal was passed by Congress without any alternative presented, the U.S. might be blamed if ever future problems will arise.

House Speaker John Boehner released a statement saying that the Congress should still take part of the decision although Obama and his administration stood firm saying that this deal is a foreign policy and the president can decide on his own no longer needing Congressional vote.
