Netanyahu Breaks Down Exactly What He Told Obama Over the Phone
Khamenei said Iran’s direct talks with Washington were limited to the nuclear issue and that there can’t be any dialogue or deal with the US over other issues.
The nuclear deal reached by Iran and the six world powers has met resistance on US Capitol Hill, from Republicans and some Democratic lawmakers.
“Iran has been deathly afraid of the IAEA having access to Parchin years later”, Kerry said.
Minister Al-Jubeir and Secretary Kerry reiterated their firm commitment to the strong bilateral relationship.
Obama said it was a “mistake” to say his administration believes that Iran will spend the money only on “day-care centers and roads and paying down debt”.

And while a diplomatic resolution to Iran’s risky nuclear ambitions is preferred to military action, questions and concerns abound.

As part of an worldwide charm offensive on Thursday, British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond was to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who strongly opposes the landmark accord struck on Tuesday in Vienna between Iran and world powers led by Washington. In the statement that follows, and his related postings on Twitter, Netanyahu offers little evidence that the deal poses any real threat, but plenty of ominous sounding rhetoric about the dangers of Israel being wiped from the face of the earth.
She said the deal would cut Iran’s pathways to material for nuclear weapons and ensure the “vigorous” transparency and inspections needed to verify that Iran could not pursue a nuclear bomb.
Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said the agreement proved that “constructive engagement works”, while his U.S. counterpart Barack Obama called it a step towards a “more hopeful world”. If Congress votes against the deal, the president would veto that bill and, at this point, he would seem to have the necessary support to sustain it.
