Iran sent a major shipment of low-enriched uranium materials to Russian Federation on Monday, a key step in Tehran s implementation of this year s historic nuclear accord with world powers.

Van Gaal may resign after Stoke defeat
Sky Sports report that training at the club’s Carrington training complex ahead of Monday’s game with Chelsea was taken by assistant coach Ryan Giggs , and that Louis van Gaal was conspicuous by his absence.
Under the July 14 deal, Iran must ship out all except 300 kilograms (over 660 pounds) of the close to nine tons of low-enriched uranium it has stockpiled.

President Barack Obama has said that he had raised concern about the law directly with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The ministry accused her of supporting terrorism through columns it said were overly sympathetic to the Uighurs.
Kerry said the low-enriched uranium shipment would more than triple Iran’s “breakout time” of an estimated two-to-three months. At that time, the “breakout time”, or the amount of time Iran would need to obtain enough nuclear material to make a nuclear weapon, will be one year.
Hernandez blames Van Gaal for leaving United
Hernandez” success in front of goal has only served to amplify the Red Devil’s goal-scoring issues and their “boring’ reputation. The Mexican striker was loaned out to Real Madrid during the Dutchman’s first season at the Old Trafford helm.
In exchange for shipping out the uranium, Iran received some natural uranium material provided by both Russian Federation and Kazakhstan, according to the statement.
Azerbaijan and Norway, Kerry added, also played key roles in facilitating the shipment.
Iran has always insisted its nuclear program is exclusively for peaceful purposes, despite a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency saying the country had actively worked until 2009 to design a nuclear weapon.
The exchange is only one part of the arrangements focused on Iran’s enriched uranium supply, however.
Kerry noted that “we understand Iran is moving quickly” to dismantle the uranium enriching infrastructure in an attempt to meet a January target date for implementation. USA officials say Iran is included because Washington designates it a “state sponsor of terrorism”, along with Syria and Sudan. If Iran continues to comply and this is verified by the United Nations, global sanctions are due to be lifted. That stage of the deal, known as implementation day, is expected sometime next month. The IAEA will also employ modern technologies, such as electronic seals, in these monitoring efforts and will have an increased number of inspectors on the ground in Iran.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Congress passed a law restricting visa-free travel rights for people who have visited Iran or hold dual Iranian nationality, a measure that Iran’s foreign minister called a breach of the deal.

Mark Toner, the deputy State Department spokesman, said that the administration does not consider the new law a violation and that it will not prevent the United States from meeting its commitments on sanctions relief.
