In a written statement, Kerry described the nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action as “truly one of our most important accomplishments of 2015”, saying he “remains so proud of our team” that hammered out the agreement over the course of some 18 months.

And some of the credit for the boost in three-point shooting goes to Kentucky natives Dominique Hawkins and Derek Willis . Saturday’s intrastate showdown was a thriller, as No. 16 Louisville hung tough with an uber-talented Wildcats squad.
Its removal is a key obligation by Iran under the deal.

Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher have reprised their roles for the Episode-7 in the franchise. Ryan sent out a press release that compared Obama’s team to the evil empire of the ” Star Wars ” films.
A ship loaded with more than 25,000 pounds of low-enriched uranium left Iran for Russian Federation today as part of a deal aimed to limit Iran’s nuclear program. Welcoming Monday’s shipment, Kerry said that by divesting itself of this low-enriched material, Iran had already tripled the amount of time it would take to produce enough fuel for a bomb from two or three months up to nine.

Ciudadanos has said it will abstain in the vote to allow the PP to govern in a minority but this would not be enough. Together they would be the only vaguely realistic two-party combination that could form an outright majority.
Implementation Day will come when the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) verifies that Iran has completed all of these nuclear commitments, which increase Iran’s breakout time to obtain enough nuclear material for a weapon to one year, up from less than 90 days before the JCPOA. The transfer means that Iran no longer has the fuel needed for a nuclear weapon.
Under the deal struck in July in Vienna between Iran and the P5+1 group of world powers, Tehran agreed to cut its low-enriched uranium (LEU) stockpile to less than 300 kilograms (660 pounds). Low-enriched uranium is suited to power generation but can be further enriched to arm nuclear warheads.
Kazakhstan contributed significantly to this effort as well, providing some of the natural uranium material that Iran has received in exchange for its enriched material, and helping to facilitate the shipment.
Azerbaijan and Norway, Kerry added, also played key roles in facilitating the shipment.
That will happen after the IAEA confirms that Iran has met all commitments.
Kerry also pointed to the ongoing dispute with Iran over new United States legislation that Iran says constitutes an attempt to reimpose sanctions lifted by the JCPOA.
The law exempts those who have traveled to or hold dual nationality from Syria, Iraq, or countries listed as state sponsors of terrorism by the State Department from visiting the USA visa-free.
The nuclear deal is reaching a critical stage- implementation, once Iran completes a series of tasks toward dismantling its nuclear infrastructure.

Iranian representatives have continued, however, to criticize the legislation – and Kerry continued to stress Monday Washington’s commitment to the nuclear deal.
