ReplyDeleteArticle Title:Congress plans tough Iran sanctions if deal fails
Article Date:Posted: Nov 24, 2013 8:44 AM EST
Who:Iran,Barack Obama, and Congress
Where:U.S. and Iran
When:The past couple of months
What happened:Iran seems to be having trouble coming to a deal. We already know what we want and have it set that, that it will go into place once Iran come to a conclusion. All they have to do is agree to the six month pause on its nuclear program.
Why this event is relevant:This event is relevant because if Iran doesn't come to a conclusion and agree tougher sanctions will be put into place.
Reaction-I don't really have a reaction because I know exactly how this will affect us in the U.S. Hopefully not something crazy where we will be all killed.
Opinion-I think Iran should just agree because its only a six month pause on their nuclear program. We've been going at this for a while now and they keep changing their minds.Maybe they're afraid of what will happen if they really agree. I think they have changed their minds like 50 times in the past 4 months... what's the big deal?
Connection- I chose this article because Iran needs to get it together all the way!!!
