Obama Administration Under Pressure To Release Text Of Iran Deal -- L.A. Times
WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration is facing rising calls from lawmakers and nuclear experts to release the text of its latest nuclear deal with Iran and accompanying documents.
The agreement, announced Sunday, lays out an implementation plan for a deal announced in November that aims to freeze Iran’s nuclear program for six months. During that time, Iran and six world powers will try to negotiate a long-term pact ensuring Tehran won’t develop a nuclear weapons capability.
So far, the text of the latest deal has not been released, nor has a separate side agreement that lays out technical and other details.
