A Deal with Iran
Iran has agreed to pause its nuclear program in exchange for relief from international sanctions. The agreement is viewed as the first step to bring about a final deal to keep Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. Iran and world powers will continue to negotiate over the next six months, but the deal could be tricky to implement, and a lot could go wrong along the way. Some American allies, including Israel and Canada, have already expressed skepticism over the deal, and lawmakers in Washington are also concerned that Iran won't keep it's end of the bargain. Both Democratic and Republican senators are already crafting legislation to reinstate sanctions, and impose new ones, if Iran doesn't make good on the pledge to curb its nuclear program. For more on the details and implications of the agreement, we turn to ABC's Dan Kloeffler and ABC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Terry Moran.
