Tehran Will Not Allow US to Interfere in Iran's Internal Affairs
On July 14, 2015, Iran and the P5+1 group of countries comprised of the United States, Russia, China, France and the United Kingdom plus Germany, reached a final agreement that will guarantee the peaceful nature of Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.

Earnest explained that Obama’s forthcoming speech at American University is a continuation of his efforts “to make the case for why the Iran deal verifiably prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.”

Under US law, members of Congress have 60 days to fully review and approve or disapprove the final nuclear deal with Iran.
