Iran Agrees to Historic Nuclear Deal (July 14):
Iran and the group of six nations, the United States, UK, France, China, Russia, and Germany, reach a historic agreement to limit Iran's ability to produce a nuclear weapon in exchange for the lifting of crippling economic sanctions. "Today's announcement marks one more chapter in our pursuit of a safer, more helpful and more hopeful world," says U.S. President Barack Obama. He also says the agreement is "not built on trust, it is built on verification." Obama now faces the difficult task of persuading the U.S. Congress to endorse the agreement. Congress has 60 days to vote on the deal. Obama vows to veto any legislation that blocks implementation of the agreement. "Today is the end to acts of tyranny against our nation and the start of cooperation with the world," says President Hassan Rouhani. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls the agreement a "historic mistake," and says, "Iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars, which will enable it to continue to pursue its aggression and terror in the region and in the world." Iran agrees to reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by 98%, place two-thirds of their installed centrifuges under international supervision, give the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) permanent access "where necessary when necessary," and accept a resumption of sanctions if Iran violates any of the terms.

This article talks about a deal recently made between Iran and America. This article is not very biased. The author tries to portray more than one view on the agreement. The author is slightly biased towards America's point of view, in that they mention more quotes from America's point of view.  If this agreement works out the way Obama wants it to, I think it would be a great thing for relations. However I do see where the Israeli Prime Minister is coming from as well. This being said I think America is taking good precautions to help cushion their all if the agreement does end up the way the Prime Minister thinks it will. I think it will be interesting to see the outcome of this agreement.
