Obama: ‘We Have Stopped Spread of Nuclear Weapons’ With Iran Deal

(Worthy News) – A historic deal with Iran will close off any possibility the country can develop nuclear weapons, halting a potential arms race in the Middle East, President Barack Obama said.

The accord, which will take months to be fully implemented, will stand as one of the chief foreign policy accomplishments of Obama’s two terms. Obama said it builds on a U.S. tradition of negotiating with foes including the former Soviet Union.

“This deal demonstrates that American diplomacy can bring about real and meaningful change, change that makes our country safer and more secure,” Obama said Tuesday at the White House. [ Source ]
