Kerry Confirms Iran Completes Nuclear Deal Steps, Marking a Safer Future 🌍

Secretary of State John Kerry and the International Atomic Energy Agency said independently Saturday that Iran has completed the necessary steps in the international nuclear deal to allow Tehran to immediately recoup roughly $100 billion in frozen assets.<br />“Iran has honored its commitment to alter, in fact dismantle, much of its” nuclear operation, Kerry said in Vienna.<br />“All of Iran’s paths toward a nuclear weapon have been stopped.<br />… Today marks the first day of a safer world.”<br />Iran has since shipped out tons of uranium and removed from service thousands of centrifuges -- key components in making a nuclear weapon.<br />President Obama on Saturday signed executive orders lifting the economic sanctions on Iran, but it was unclear by early evening whether he would make a public statement.
